Solve the following system of equations using the elimination method.
5x - 5y = 10
6x - 4y= 4
A) (-3,5)
B) (2-7)
C) (-1,-5)
D) (-2,-4)

When given multi-choice questions like these and you're time bound, substitute the provided answers into the question and see if you'll get the figure beside the '='.

So, using D answers as example 1.

let -2 be x and -4 be y

Substitute these answers into the question.

5(-2)-5(-4)=10

-10+20=10 (+20 because when 2 negative values multiply each other, the operator becomes positive and so is the answer)

10=10

This means the answers provided for D(-2,-4) is the right answer.

PS: Please use or adopt this strategy to solve such questions ONLY when you've been provided with multiple answers to choose from. Plus, it also helps save time.

Thanks
