Solve by elimination:

x + 3y = 1

-3x -3y = -15

Group of answer choices

(-2 , -7)

(2 , 7)

(-7 , 2)

(7 , -2)

(7, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3y = 1

-3x - 3y = -15

(x-3x) + (3y-3y) = 1-15

-2x + 0 = - 14

-2x = - 14

x = 7

x + 3y = 1

7 + 3y = 1

3y = 1-7

3y = -6

y = -2

D: (7 , -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply each equation by the value that makes the coefficients of x

opposite.

(3)⋅(x+3y)=(3)(1)

−3x−3y=−15

Simplify

3x+9y=3

−3x−3y=−15

Add the two equations together to eliminate x

from the system.

3x+9y=3

+     −3x−3y=−15

6y=−12

Divide each term by 6 and simplify.

y=−2

Substitute the value found for y into one of the original equations, then solve for x.

x=7

The solution to the independent system of equations can be represented as a point.

(7,−2)

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Point Form:

(7,−2)

Equation Form:

x=7, y=−2
