D) $( 2,8 )$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adding the two equations directly eliminates $y$, leading to a solvable equation for $x$, and subsequently $y$.

Solve Using the Elimination Method −x−3y=−2−5x+3y=−46\begin{array} { l } - x - 3 y = - 2 \\- 5 x + 3 y = - 46\end{array}−x−3y=−2−5x+3y=−46​

Solve Using the Elimination Method $\begin{array} { l } - x - 3 y = - 2 \\- 5 x + 3 y = - 46\end{array}$
