Answer:

(a) (5, 9)

Explanation:

You want the solution to the system ...

  • x = 5
  • y = 2x -1

Solution

The value of x is already given, so no work is required to find that.

The value of y is found by using that value of x in the equation for y:

y = 2x -1

y = 2·5 -1 = 10 -1 = 9

The solution is (x, y) = (5, 9).
