Question

3x + y = -3
y = x + 5
Substitution pls show solving

Answer 1

( -2, 3 )

Explanation:

3x + y = -3

y = x + 5

Since "y" has been given to us, all we need to do is substitute.

3x + x + 5 = -3

Combine like terms

4x + 5 = -3

Subtract 5 onto both sides

4x + 5 - 5 = -3 - 5

4x = -8

Divide by 4 into both sides to isolate the variable

4x/4 = -8/4

x = -2

Now that we have x ( -2 ), we can substitute that to get what y is.

y = x + 5

y = -2 + 5

y = 3

( x, y ) ---> ( -2, 3 )

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

3x + y = -3
Substitute y = x + 5 in the ‘y’ spot in the 3x + 7 = -3 equation

3x + y = -3
3x + x + 5 = -3
combine liked terms
4x + 5 = -3
-5 on both sides
4x = -8
/4 on both sides
x = -2

Answer:
x = -2
