Question

Solve the systems of equations by substitution
5.)
x=-3
6x-5y=22

Answer 1

Sure, here's how you can solve the system of equations by substitution:

Since we know that x is equal to -3, we can substitute -3 for x in the second equation to get:

6(-3) - 5y = 22

Simplifying the equation, we get:

-18 - 5y = 22

Adding 18 to both sides, we get:

-5y = 40

Dividing both sides by -5, we get:

y = -8

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is:

x = -3
y = -8
