Answer Solution is ( 2, 7 )
Step by step
To solve by substitution, replace the value of y from the first equation in place of y in the second equation
x = 5x - 3 - 5
Simplify
x = 5x -8
subtract 5x from both sides to combine variable
x -5x = 5x -5x -8
Simplify
-4x = -8
Divide both sides by -4 to solve for x
-4/-4 x = -8/ -4
x = 2
Now substitute the value of x into the first equation to find y
y = 5(2) -3
Multiply
y = 10 - 3
Simplify
y = 7
Your solution is ( 2, 7)
