To solve the given system of equations, let's analyze the equations: 1. \(x + 4y = 5\) (i) 2. \(2x + 5y = 4\) (ii) 3. \(3x + 6y = 3\) (iii) 4. \(4x + 7y = 2\) (iv) We can notice that, upon multiplying equation (i) by 2, we get: \(2x + 8y = 10\) (v) Now, let's compare (ii) and (v). Subtract (ii) from (v): \((2x + 8y) - (2x + 5y) = 10 - 4\) This simplifies to: \(3y = 6 \Rightarrow y = 2\) Now that we have \(y = 2\), substitute this value back into equation (i): \(x + 4(2) = 5\) Thus: \(x + 8 = 5 \Rightarrow x = -3\) So the solution to the system is: A. The solution to the system is \((-3, 2)\).
