Question

X-5y=-6
7x-3y=42
Solve each system using substitution

Answer 1

Explanation:

To solve the system of equations using substitution, we first need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations. We can start by solving the first equation for y:

x - 5y = -6

y = (x + 6) / 5

Now we can substitute this expression for y into the second equation:

7x - 3y = 42

7x - 3((x + 6) / 5) = 42

Simplifying and solving for x:

(35/5)x - (3/5)x - 18/5 = 42

32x = 210+18

x=57/8

Now we can substitute this value of x back into the first equation to find the value of y:

y = ((57/8) + 6) / 5

y = 21/8

So the solution of the system is (x, y) = (57/8, 21/8).
