Use the Substitution Method to Solve the Following System $$\left\{ \begin{array} { l } 9 ( x - 1 ) + 41 = 75 - 7 y \\7 ( x + 1 ) + 29 = 68 - 4 y\end{array} \right.$$

question 11

Multiple Choice

Use the substitution method to solve the following system. If the equations of the system are dependent, or if the system is inconsistent, so indicate. $$\left\{ \begin{array} { l } 9 ( x - 1 ) + 41 = 75 - 7 y \\7 ( x + 1 ) + 29 = 68 - 4 y\end{array} \right.$$

• A) \(( 4,1 )\)
• B) \(( 1,4 )\)
• C) \(( - 4 , - 1 )\)
• D)The equations are dependent.
• E)The system is inconsistent.

Definitions:

S-Wave Amplitude

The measure of the height of the secondary or shear waves, which are one type of seismic wave produced by earthquakes.

Strike-Slip Faults

Faults where two blocks of crust slide past each other horizontally, with little vertical motion.

Plate Boundary

The margin or border between two tectonic plates, which can be characterized by seismic activity, volcanism, and distinct geological formations.

Subduction Zone

A tectonic plate boundary where one plate moves under another and is forced into the mantle, typically creating earthquakes and volcanic activity.
