1. Which method would be the simplest way to solve the system?

7x + 5y = 19

–7x – 2y = –16


A.graphing

B.substitution

C.elimination

D.distributive

  1. What is the solution of the system?

7x + 5y = 19

–7x – 2y = –16


A.(2, 1)

B.(1, 2)

C.(7, 5)

D.(–7, –2)

Verified Answer :

1) The simplest solution is C elimination.
 
2)
7x + 5y = 19

–7x – 2y = –16

Add the equations:
3 y = 3
y = 1
7x + 5 = 19
7x = 14
x = 2

answer is A
