Find a solution to the following system of equations. - 2x + 5y = 8 2x + 2y = 6

A. (2, 1)

B. (1, 2)

C. (-2, 1)

D. (0, 3)

With multiple choice questions, I find it best to plug in on this one.

For a) x=2 and y=1 so, plug it into the equation.

1) - 2 (2) + 5 (1) = 8 and than you check the other one

2) 2 (2) + 2 (1) = 6 if it works in both than that is your answer. If not than you try another choice until you get one that works in both equations.
