WILL GET BRAINLISET AND EXTRA POINTS Which is the approximate solution for the system of equations 8 x minus 10 y = negative 23 and 9 x + 10 y = negative 16? (–2.3, 0.5) (–2.5, 1) (–2.3, –0.5) (–2.5, –1)

(-2.3, 0.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out systems of equations

8x - 10y = -23

9x + 10y = -16

Step 2: Elimination (add the 2 equations together)

17x = -39

x = -39/17 = -2.29412 ≈ -2.3

Step 3: Plug in x to find y

8(-39/17) - 10y = -23

-312/17 - 10y = -23

-10y = -79/17

y = 79/170 = 0.464706 ≈ 0.5

b is the answer that makes most sense

step-by-step explanation:

c.

step-by-step explanation:

because first you have to add the 4x, 9x, and the 7x together and you get 20x and then you add the last numbers up and you get 5and then you put the subtraction sign in there and that's how you get the answer.
