y=2x+4x-y=-1Which ordered pair (x,y) satisfies the system of equations shown above?

Correct answer: B. ( -3, -2)

  • A. ( -2, -3)
  • B. ( -3, -2)
  • C. ( -1, 2)
  • D. ( -2, 0)

Explanation

To solve the system of equations, substitute the values of x and y from the ordered pair into both equations. Option B, (-3, -2), satisfies both equations when substituted. The first equation becomes -2 = 2(-3) + 4, which simplifies to -2 = -6 + 4, or -2 = -2. The second equation becomes -3 - (-2) = -1, which simplifies to -1 = -1. Therefore, option B is correct. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not satisfy both equations when substituted.
