To find the solution to this, we need to use the substitution method.

y = -5x + 3

Substitute the value for y.

y =1

1 = -5x + 3

Now, solve for x.

1-3 = -5x + 3 Apply the inverse operation to both sides of the equation.
-3

1-3 is -2

-2 = -5x

-5x/-5 = -2/-5
x = 0.4

Final answer:- x = 0.4 y = 1
