Which ordered pair is a solution to the given system of equations?
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Choice A is correct. The solution to a system of equations is the ordered pair that satisfies all equations in the system. It's given by the first equation in the system that . Substituting for into the second equation yields , or . The x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations can be found by subtracting from both sides of the equation , which yields . Therefore, the ordered pair is a solution to the given system of equations.
