What is the solution to the system of equations? y is equal to negative 5 x plus 3 y is equal to 1
Answer
A
0 point 4 comma 1
B
0 point 8 comma 1
C
1 comma 0 point 4
D
1 comma 0 point 8
Explanation
Since both expressions equal y, set them equal: 1 = -5x + 3. Subtract 3 to get -2 = -5x, so x = 0.4. The other equation gives y = 1, so the solution is (0.4, 1), choice A.
