Answer:

The answer for both linear equations is A. x = 2, y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First start by plugging in the variables with the given numbers (2,7). We'll start with 6x + 3y = 33.

6x + 3y = 33

6 (2) + 3 (7 )= 33 <--- This is the equation after the numbers are plugged in.

12 + 10 = 33

33 = 33 <---- This statement is true, therefore it is the correct pair.

Now we are not done, to confirm that this pair works with both equations we need to solve for 4x + y = 15 to see if it works. Linear Equations must have the variables work on both equations.

4x + y = 15 <----- We are going to do the exact same thing to this equation.

4(2) + 7 = 15

8 + 7 = 15

15 = 15  <-- 15=15 is a true statement therefore this pair works for this equation.

Therefore,

A. x = 2, y = 7 is the correct answer

Sorry this is a day late, I hope it helps.
