Which ordered pair is a solution to the system of linear equations - 4x+y = 8 and X-5y=17?

(-4,-3)

(-4,3)

(-3,-4)

(-3,4)

C is the correct answer.

Plug the x & y values for x and y in the equation and you'll get true statements. For example:

-4 (-3) - 4 = 8

12-4=8

And in the second equation:

-3 - 5 (-4) = 17

-3 + 20 = 17
