Final answer:

The student provided a system of equations with a minor typo. Upon correction, the system consists of x = 1 and -5x + y = -11, which, when solved, gives the answers x = 1 and y = -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student appears to have presented a system of equations, though there is a typo in the question. The provided equations should likely be in the form:

  • x = 1
  • -5x + y = -11

To solve this system, first interpret the first equation as x already being solved: x = 1. Plug this into the second equation, replacing x with 1:

-5(1) + y = -11

Which simplifies to:

-5 + y = -11

Add 5 to both sides to solve for y:

y = -6

The solution to the system of equations is x = 1 and y = -6.
