Question

How many solutions does this linear have y= 5x-1 -15x-3y=3?

Answer 1

-15x - 3y = 3

-15x - 3(5x-1) = 3 [input y]
-15x - 15x - 3 = 3 [distribute 3 over 5x and -1]
-30x - 3 = 3 [combine like terms]
-30x = 6 [add 3 to eliminate the negative]
x =
`(6)/(-30)` [divide by -30 to get x alone]
x =
`(1)/(-5)` [reduce the fraction]

Hopefully this is helpful enough to get you to your answer
