Multiple Choice

Solve the pair of linear equations by addition. $\begin{array} { l } 3 x + 2 y = 14 \\x + 8 y = - 32\end{array}$ If there is one common solution, select the correct ordered pair of the point of intersection. If there is no one common solution, select either parallel or coincide for the correct answer.

• A) \(( 8,3 )\)
• B) \(( 8 , - 5 )\)
• C) \(( 9 , - 5 )\)

Definitions:

Alveolates

Protists that have alveoli, flattened vesicles located just inside the plasma membrane; include the dinoflagellates, apicomplexans, and ciliates. See chromalveolates; compare with stramenopiles.

Contractile Vacuoles

Organelles found in certain unicellular organisms responsible for expelling excess water from the cell to maintain osmotic balance.

Flattened Vesicles

Flattened, membrane-bound sacs found within cells, often involved in the transport and processing of cellular materials.

Chromalveolates

A supergroup composed of diverse protists with few shared characters; most are photosynthetic, and heterotrophic chromalveolates, such as the water molds and ciliates, probably descended from autotrophic ancestors. Divided into two main groups; see alveolates and stramenopiles.
