D) ( 6, -4 )
E) none of the above

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Substitute the values of x and y from the ordered pair (4, -4) into the equations and check if they satisfy both equations.

Decide Which of the Given Ordered Pairs Is a Solution (2x+3y=−43x−y=16)\left( \begin{array} { l } 2 x + 3 y = - 4 \\3 x - y = 16\end{array} \right)(2x+3y=−43x−y=16​)
