Verified Answer :

y = 1/3 x - 10
2x + y = 4
2x + 1/3 x - 10 = 4
7/3 x = 14
x = 6
y = 1/3(6) - 10 = 2 - 10 = -8
Therefore solution is (6, -8)

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Solution to the given system of equation is (6 , -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equation:

\(y= \frac{1}{3} x-10\)             ......[1]

\(2x+y =4\)                           .....[2]

Substitute the equation [1] in [2] we get;

\(2x +\frac{1}{3}x -10 =4\)

Combine like terms;

\(\frac{7}{3}x -10 =4\)

Add 10 to both side of an equation:

\(\frac{7}{3}x -10 +10=4+10\)

Simplify:

\(\frac{7}{3}x =14\)

Divide both sides by  \(\frac{3}{7}\) we get;

\(\frac{3}{7} \times \frac{7}{3}x = 14 \times \frac{3}{7}\)

Simplify:

x = 6

Substitute the value of x =6 in equation [1] we get;

\(y= \frac{1}{3}(6)-10\)

or

\(y= 2-10\)  

Simplify:

y = - 8

therefore, the solution to the given system of equation is; (6 , -8)
