Which ordered pair is the solution to the system of equations?

x-4y=6

3x+y=-8

A.

(2, - 1)

B.

(1, - 9)

C.

(-2, - 2)

D.

(-6, - 3)

The solution to the system of equations is (-2,-2).

You can solve systems of equations by substitution, eliminations, or graphing.

x - 4y = 6

x = 6 + 4y

3x + y = - 8

3 (6 + 4y) = - 8

18 + 12y = - 8

12y = - 24

y = - 2

x = 6 + 4y

x = 6 + 4 (-2)

x = 6 - 8

x = - 2

Your final answer is C. (-2,-2).
