Help Solve the following system of equations.

Question

-4x-15y=17

-x+y=-13

A) (1, -3)

B) (8, -1)

C) (1,8)

D (4, 3)

Answer 1

NONE OF THOSE answers are correct

then y = x-13

-4x -15 (x-13) = 17

-4x -15x + 195 = 17

-19x + 195 = 17

-19x = 17-195

-19x = -178

x = -178/-19 = 178/19 = 9 + 7/19

y = 178/19 - 13/1 = 178/19 - 247/19= -69/19

-4x-15y = (-4)(178/19) - 15(-69/19)

= -712/19 + 1035/19

= 323/19

= 17

-x+y = -178/19 + -69/19 = -247/19 = -13

Answer 2

None of the choices for the solution of the system of equations work.
