Solve by elimination: (3x+y=11) and (3x-y=7).

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ( (3,2) )

The correct answer is option D: (3, 2). In elimination, look for a variable with equal and opposite coefficients. Adding the equations 3x + y = 11 and 3x − y = 7 cancels y: 6x = 18. Divide by 6 to get x = 3. Substitute into the first equation: 3(3) + y = 11, so 9 + y = 11 and y = 2. Therefore the ordered pair is (3, 2). Option A, (2, 5), gives 3x + y = 11 but gives 6 − 5 = 1, not 7, in the second equation. Option B, (4, −1), gives 11 in the first equation but 13 in the second. Option C, (1, 8), gives 11 in the first but −5 in the second. Option D satisfies both: 9 + 2 = 11 and 9 − 2 = 7. Memory cue: add equations when opposite terms cancel immediately, then substitute to find the remaining variable.
