Question

What is the soution set of the given system 5x+2y=7 y=x+1

Answer 1

Solution (5/7 , 12/7)

Explanation:

5x + 2y = 7

y = x + 1

Substitute y=x+1 into 5x + 2y = 7

5x + 2(x + 1) = 7

5x + 2x + 2 = 7

7x = 5

x = 5/7

Substitute x = 5/7 into y = x + 1

y = 5/7 + 1

y = 5/7 + 7/7

y = 12/7

Answer

Solution (5/7 , 12/7)
