Question

Solve they system of linear equations. Show all work.

y=5x+8

2x-3y=2

SOMEONE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!

Answer 1

The solution of the system of equations is the point
`(-2,-2)`

Explanation:

we have

`y=5x+8` ----> equation A

`2x-3y=2` ----> equation B

substitute the equation A in the equation B and solve for x

`2x-3(5x+8)=2`

`2x-15x-24=2`

`13x=-26`

`x=-2`

substitute the value of x in the equation A

`y=5(-2)+8=-2`

The solution of the system of equations is the point
`(-2,-2)`
