x = 4 y = 5 - x The solution to the given system of equations is x , y

Question

x = 4 y = 5 - x The solution to the given system of equations is x , y . What is the value of y ?

Accepted Answer

Choice A is correct. The first equation in the given system of equations is x = 4 . Substituting 4 for x in the second equation in the given system of equations yields y = 5 - 4 , or y = 1 . Choice B is incorrect. This is the value of x in the solution to the given system of equations, not the value of y . Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
