Step-by-step explanation: Substitute into one of the equations, solve the equation, substitute into one of the equations, solve the equation, than write the solution.

Answer 2

b. (-1, 5)

Explanation:

Since the first equation is already solved for y, we can use substitution.

Substitute y in the second equation with 3x + 8.

5x + 2y = 5

5x + 2(3x + 8) = 5

5x + 6x + 16 = 5

11x = -11

x = -11/11

x = -1

Now substitute x in the first original equation by -1 and solve for y.

y = 3x + 8

y = 3(-1) + 8

y = -3 + 8

y = 5

Answer: (-1, 5)
