Answer:

Option- one is correct.

The given system of equations have one solution that is (7,-21)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations are

[tex]y=-3x\hfill (1)[/tex]

[tex]-9x-4y=21\hfill (2)[/tex]

Now to the solution:

To solve the given system of equations using substitution method.

That is substitute equation(1) in equation (2) we get

[tex]-9x-4(-3x)=21[/tex] (here y=-3x)

[tex]-9x+12x=21[/tex]

[tex]3x=21[/tex] (adding the like terms)

[tex]x=\frac{21}{3}[/tex]

Therefore x=7

Now substitute x=7 in equation (1) we get

[tex]y=-3x[/tex]

[tex]y=-3(7)[/tex]

[tex]y=-21[/tex]

Therefore the solution is (7,-21)

Therefore Option- one is correct.

The given system of equations have one solution that is (7,-21)
