Answer:
Fourth option
Step-by-step explanation:
If you dont have a graphing calculator, we can solve this system using elimination. If we subtract the two linesr functions, we get
[tex](3x - 8y = 29) - (3x + y = - 2) = - 9y = 31[/tex]
So our new equation is
[tex] - 9y = 31[/tex]
[tex]y = - \frac{31}{9} [/tex]
Now since we know what y is, we plug this in back into the equation and solve for x.
[tex]3x - 8( \frac{ - 31}{9} ) = 29[/tex]
[tex]3x + \frac{248}{9} = 29[/tex]
[tex]3x = \frac{13}{9} [/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{13}{27} [/tex]
The answer choice that resembles this mostly is the fourth option.
