What is the solution of the system?
5x+6y=20
9x+11y=32

•(28, -20)
•(28, 20)
•(-28, 20)
•(20, -28)

Verified Answer :

Answer:

The correct option is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations is

\(5x+6y=20\)           ....(1)

\(9x+11y=32\)          ....(2)

Multiply equation (1) by 11.

\(55x+66y=220\)           ....(3)

Multiply equation (2) by 6.

\(54x+66y=192\)           ....(4)

Subtract equation (4) from equation (3).

\(55x+66y-54x-66y=220-192\)

\(x=28\)

Substitute x=28 in equation (1).

\(5(28)+6y=20\)

\(140+6y=20\)

\(6y=-120\)

\(y=-20\)

Therefore the solution of the given system of equations is (28,-20). Option 1 is correct.
