y = 1

Answer 1

The answer is A

Explanation:

Hope this helps got it right on the quiz

Answer 2

y = 1, x = 2/5 or (2/5, 1)

Explanation:

Since you already know that y = 1, you can substitute 1 into the y of the other equation. So you end up with:

1 = -5x + 3

Then you solve this equation. First you subtract 3 from both sides and get:

-2 = -5x

Then you divide both sides by -5 and get:

2/5 = x

And you already know that y = 1 so your answer is:

x = 2/5, y = 1 or (2/5, 1)
