What is the solution to the system of equations? (7, 9) (9, 7) (–5, 11) (11, –5)

(7, 9)

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this system, I would use addition.

To solve a system of equations by addition,

we need one of our variables to cancel out.

Notice that we have a 4x in our first equation.

If we had a -4x in our second equation, the x's would cancel.

To create a -4x in the second equation,

we must multiply the entire equation by -4.

So we have (-4)(x + 6y) = (61)(-4).

Rewriting this equation, we have -4x - 24y = -244.

Now let's rewrite both equations.

Now when we add the equations together, the x's cancel.

So we're left with -29y = -261.

Now divide both sides by -29 and we have y = 9.

To find x, we plug a y back in for x in either equation.

So let's go with our second equation, x + 6y = 61.

Plugging a 9 in for y, we have x + 6(9) = 61 or x + 54 = 61.

Subtracting 54 from both sides, we have x = 7.

So x = 7 and y = 9 which we can write as the ordered pair (7, 9).

the answer is 13 cm

final total: 63
