What is the solution of 8x + 5y = 4 and 4x - 5y = 20?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (x = 2, y = -12/5)

Use elimination by adding the two equations, because +5y and −5y cancel: (8x + 5y) + (4x − 5y) = 4 + 20. This gives 12x = 24, so x = 2. Substitute x = 2 into the first equation: 8(2) + 5y = 4, hence 16 + 5y = 4 and 5y = −12. Therefore y = −12/5, giving the ordered pair (2, −12/5). Option B is correct. Verification in the second equation gives 4(2) − 5(−12/5) = 8 + 12 = 20, so the pair satisfies both equations. The other options fail either the x-value obtained after elimination or direct substitution.
