Question

Y = -5x + 15 2x + y = 12

Answer 1

x=− 5y+3

x=− 2y+6

hope this helps

Answer 2

x = 1, y = 10

Explanation:

y = -5x + 15 --- Equation 1

2x + y = 12 --- Equation 2

Substitute y = -5x + 15 into Equation 2:

2x + y = 12

2x - 5x + 15 = 12

Evaluate like terms.

15 - 3x = 12

Isolate -3x.

-3x = 12 - 15

Evaluate like terms.

-3x = -3

Find x.

x = -3 ÷ -3

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into Equation 2:

2x + y = 12

2(1) + y = 12

2 + y = 12

Isolate y.

y = 12 - 2

y = 10
