Which ordered pair open paren A comma b close paren is the solution to the given system? 2 A minus 5 b is equal to 1 3 A plus 5 b is equal to 14

Add the equations, 2a − 5b = 1 and 3a + 5b = 14, to eliminate b. This gives 5a = 15, so a = 3. Substituting into the first equation gives 6 − 5b = 1, so b = 1; the solution is (3, 1), choice B.
