To solve the system by substitution, we start with the second equation, which gives us \( y \) in terms of \( x \): \[ y = -3x + 14. \] Now, we can substitute this expression for \( y \) into the first equation: \[ x - 3(-3x + 14) = -2. \] Simplifying this: \[ x + 9x - 42 = -2, \] \[ 10x - 42 = -2, \] \[ 10x = 40, \] \[ x = 4. \] Now, we substitute \( x = 4 \) back into the equation for \( y \): \[ y = -3(4) + 14 = -12 + 14 = 2. \] So, the solution to the system is \( x = 4 \) and \( y = 2 \). This means the solution is a unique point: \( (4, 2) \). Thus, the correct choice is: A. The solution is \( (4, 2) \).
