Question 150289: Choose the ordered pair that is a solution to the system of equations.
2x – y = 4
3x + y = 1

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1.2x-y=4
2.3x%2By=1
Add the two equations together to get rid of y,
2x-y%2B3x%2By=4%2B1
5x=5
x=1
Now plug this value in either eq. 1 or 2 to solve for y.
2x-y=4
2%281%29-y=4
2-y=4
-y=2
y=-2
(1,-2) is the solution.
