Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Choose the

correct ordered pair.

2x + y = 8

y = - x + 5

O A. (4,1)

O B. (3, 2)

O C. (5,0)

O D. (2,3)

(3, 2) is the ordered pair for the given system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2 x + y = 8 ... (i)

y = - x + 5 ... (ii)

Put y = - x + 5 in equation (i) -

2 x + ( - x + 5) = 8

2 x - x + 5 = 8

x = 8 - 5

x = 3

Now put x = 3 in equation (ii) -

y = - 3 + 5

y = 2

Hence the (3, 2) is the correct ordered pair.
