Let’s solve each system of linear equations and match them to the correct ordered pair (x, y).

System 1:
2x + y = 7
3x - y = 3
Add the two equations to eliminate y:
→ (2x + y) + (3x - y) = 7 + 3
→ 5x = 10
→
x = 2
Substitute x = 2 into first equation:
→ 2(2) + y = 7 → 4 + y = 7 →
y = 3
✔ Solution:
(2, 3)
---
System 2:
x - y = 4
x + y = 2
Add the two equations:
→ (x - y) + (x + y) = 4 + 2
→ 2x = 6 →
x = 3
Substitute x = 3 into second equation:
→ 3 + y = 2 →
y = -1
✔ Solution:
(3, -1)
---
System 3:
2x + 3y = 8
3x + y = 5
Solve second equation for y:
→ y = 5 - 3x
Substitute into first equation:
→ 2x + 3(5 - 3x) = 8
→ 2x + 15 - 9x = 8
→ -7x = -7 →
x = 1
Then y = 5 - 3(1) =
2
✔ Solution:
(1, 2)
---
System 4:
2x - 3y = 8
2x + 3y = 4
Add the two equations:
→ (2x - 3y) + (2x + 3y) = 8 + 4
→ 4x = 12 →
x = 3
Substitute x = 3 into second equation:
→ 2(3) + 3y = 4 → 6 + 3y = 4 → 3y = -2 →
y = -2/3
✔ Solution:
(3, -2/3)
---
System 5:
5x + y = 15
3x + 2y = 9
Solve first equation for y:
→ y = 15 - 5x
Substitute into second equation:
→ 3x + 2(15 - 5x) = 9
→ 3x + 30 - 10x = 9
→ -7x = -21 →
x = 3
Then y = 15 - 5(3) = 0
✔ Solution:
(3, 0)
---
System 6:
-x + 2y = 10
x - 3y = -13
Add the two equations:
→ (-x + 2y) + (x - 3y) = 10 + (-13)
→ -y = -3 →
y = 3
Substitute y = 3 into first equation:
→ -x + 2(3) = 10 → -x + 6 = 10 → -x = 4 →
x = -4
✔ Solution:
(-4, 3)
---
System 7:
2x - 3y = 0
-2x + 2y = -2
Add the two equations:
→ (2x - 3y) + (-2x + 2y) = 0 + (-2)
→ -y = -2 →
y = 2
Substitute y = 2 into first equation:
→ 2x - 3(2) = 0 → 2x - 6 = 0 → 2x = 6 →
x = 3
✔ Solution:
(3, 2)
---
System 8:
y = 3x + 6
2y = -3x + 3
Substitute first equation into second:
→ 2(3x + 6) = -3x + 3
→ 6x + 12 = -3x + 3
→ 9x = -9 →
x = -1
Then y = 3(-1) + 6 = -3 + 6 =
3
✔ Solution:
(-1, 3)
