Question

Y=-3x + 9
y= -3 - 5
What is the solution for the system of equations?

Answer 1

y=-8, x=17/3

Explanation:

Since Y both equal the same than -3x+9=-3-5. Now combine -3 and the -5 to get -8. Now the problem is -3x+9=-8. Next, we need to get the x alone, so the next step is -3x+9(-9)=-8(-9). Now we are left with -3x=-17 and for the final step you need to do is -3x/-3=-17/-3. Now you are left with x=17/3
