Shannon graphed the system of equations. 7x – 4y= –8 y = x – 3 What is the closest approximate solution to the system of equations? (–5, –7.2) (–5, –6.8) (–5, –6.2) (–5, –5.9)

The graph shows the solution of your equations is
.. (x, y) = (-6 2/3, -9 2/3)

The closest point to that of the choices offered is (-5, -7.2).

___
The offered "approximations" are not very good approximations.

we have

[tex]7x-4y=-8[/tex] -------> equation A

[tex]y=x-3[/tex] ------------> equation B

we know that

The solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

so

Using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

The solution is the point [tex](-6.7,-9.7)[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

the closest approximate solution to the system of equations is [tex](-5,-7.2)[/tex]
