The solution is \( (5, 4) \).
Solución
To solve the system using the substitution method, follow these steps:
1. **Express one variable in terms of the other:**
From the second equation:
\[
y = -4x + 24
\]
2. **Substitute this expression into the first equation:**
\[
x - 2(-4x + 24) = -3
\]
Simplify:
\[
x + 8x - 48 = -3
\]
\[
9x - 48 = -3
\]
3. **Solve for \( x \):**
\[
9x = 45
\]
\[
x = 5
\]
4. **Substitute \( x = 5 \) back into the expression for \( y \):**
\[
y = -4(5) + 24 = -20 + 24 = 4
\]
5. **Write the solution as an ordered pair:**
\[
(5, 4)
\]
**Answer:**
A. The solution set is \( \{\, (5,\ 4) \,\} \).

To solve the system by substitution, we start with the equation \( y = -4x + 24 \) and substitute this expression for \( y \) in the first equation \( x - 2y = -3 \). Thus, we have: \[ x - 2(-4x + 24) = -3 \] Expanding this gives: \[ x + 8x - 48 = -3 \] \[ 9x - 48 = -3 \] Now, adding 48 to both sides: \[ 9x = 45 \] Dividing by 9: \[ x = 5 \] Next, we substitute \( x = 5 \) back into the equation for \( y \): \[ y = -4(5) + 24 \] \[ y = -20 + 24 = 4 \] Thus, the solution set is \( \{(5, 4)\} \). Choose option A: A. The solution set is \( \{(5, 4)\} \).
