Question 1076176: what is the solution to the system shown below?
2x+y=-3
x-5y=4
A. (0,-3)
B. (-3,4)
C. (-1,-1)
D. (1,-5)

Can substitute into each or solve
The second is x=5y+4
substitute into first
2(5y+4)+y=-3
10y+8+y=-3
11y=-11
y=-1
That is C, but going further, x=-5+4=-1
That checks in both equations and C is the answer.
