Answer:
Option D is correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the system of equations:
[tex]x+y=4\\x-y=-6[/tex]
Solving the system of equations to find values of x and y
Let:
[tex]x+y=4--eq(1)\\x-y=-6--eq(2)[/tex]
Adding both equations to find value of x
[tex]x+y=4\\x-y=-6\\------\\2x=-2\\x=\frac{-2}{2}\\x=-1[/tex]
So, we get value of x: x=-1
Now, putting value of x: x=-1 into equation 1 to find value of y
[tex]x+y=4\\Putx=-1\\-1+y=4\\y=4+1\\y=5[/tex]
So, we get value of y: y=5
The ordered pair will be: (-1,5)
So, Option D: The ordered pair(-1,5) is a a solution to the system of equations because it makes both equations true is correct choice.
Checking:
Put x=-1 and y=5 in equation 1
[tex]x+y=4\\-1+5=4\\4=4\:True[/tex]
Put x=-1 and y=5 in equation 2
[tex]x-y=-6-1-5=-6\\-6=-6\:\:\:True[/tex]
So, both equations are true.
Therefore, Option D is correct answer.
