(2x+y=-2
5x + 3y = -8
Solve by elimination

y = -6, x =2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve by elimination, you have to line both equations up together. Then, you multiply both equations until one variable is removed.

2x+y = -2

5x + 3y = - 8

There are many different ways to solve an elimination problem, but generally you should look for the simplest route. Here, I would multiply the top equation by -3.

-6x -3y = 6

5x +3y = -8

Imagine you are adding the two equations together. You end up with

-x = -2

Then solve for x. In this situation, it is fairly simple. Take out a factor of -1.

x = 2

Finally, choose one of your beginning equations and plug your new-found x value back into the equation.

2(2) +y = -2

4 + y = -2

y = -6

the correct answer is

c. 4

step-by-step explanation:

the given polynomial is

the degree of the polynomial is the highest exponent which is 4.

the -4 is called the leading coefficient.

this polynomial has only one term so it is a monomial.

the correct answer is option c.
