\

Elimination Method:

\

The system of equations are

\

\"\"                                      (Equation 1)

\

\"\"                                  (Equation 2)

\

Since the coefficients of the x-terms are same, you can eliminate these terms by subtract the equations.subtract the equations to eliminate variable x.

\

Write equations in column form and add the corresponding columns.

\

\"\"

\

The result value is \"\".\"\"

\

Now, find the x value by substitute \"\" in either equations.

\

\"\"                                         (Write equation 1)

\

\"\"                                  (Substitute \"\")

\

\"\"                                           (Subtract 10 from each side)

\

\"\"                                               (Divide each side by 2)\"\"

\

The system of equations has one solution \"\", so it is consistent and it is match with the graph of label (c).
