Question

Solve using substitution.

x = –2
5x + 3y = 14

Answer 1

Answer: (-2, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug x = -2 into the second equation. Isolate y.

5x+3y = 14

5(-2)+3y = 14

-10+3y = 14

3y = 14+10

3y = 24

y = 24/3

y = 8

We have x = -2 lead to y = 8.

Therefore, the ordered pair (x,y) = (-2,8) is the solution to this system.
