Answer:
Solution point is (-1,-9)
Explanation:
Put the value of y in the first equation into the second equation.
- 2x + 5(3x - 5) = - 42 Remove the brackets on the left
- 2x + 15x - 25 = - 42 Combine like terms on the left
- 17x - 25 = - 42 Add 25 to both sides
- 17x - 25 + 25 = - 42 + 25 Do the addition
- 17x = - 17 Divide by 17
- 17x/17 = -17/17 Do the division
- x = - 1
=======
Solve for y
- y = 3x - 6
- x = -1
- y = 3(-1) - 6
- y = -3 - 6
- y = - 9
