Given the system of equation


\begin{cases}-3x+y=19 \\ y=x+3\end{cases}

Rewrite the equation above as


\begin{cases}-3x+y=19 \\ x-y=-3\end{cases}

Using addition method, add the two equations to eliminate y


\begin{gathered} (-3x+x)+(y-y)=(19-3) \\ -2x=16 \\ (-2x)/(-2)=(16)/(-2) \\ x=-8 \end{gathered}

Substitute x=-8 in the second equation to find y


\begin{gathered} y=x+3 \\ y=-8+3 \\ y=-5 \end{gathered}

Hence, the system of equation has one solution, the solution is ( -8 , -5 )

One Solution ( -8 , -5 )
