Solve the following system of equations: −2x + y = 1 −4x + y = −1 a.(3, 1) b.(−1, 3) c.(−1, −3) d.(1, 3)

Hello!

-2x + y = 1
-4x + y = -1

You can subtract these equations from each other to eliminate y

2x = 2

Divide both sides by 2

x = 1

Put this into one of the original equations

-2(1) + y = 1

Combine like terms

-2 + y = 1

Add 2 to both sides

y = 3

The answer is D) (1, 3)

Hope this helps!

At a constant it will take one hour to travel 32 mi.at that speed it will take 1/2 hr to travel the remaining 16 mi.it will take 1+1/2 hr to travel the 48mi @ 32mph.so 1 hr = 60 min& 1/2 hr = 30 min1+1/2 hr = 90 min.there are 60s in each 90 × 60 = 3600 seconds.the real question seriously is he why are they driving so slow? ! lol.
