Question

Solve the system of equations. Give your answer as an ordered pair

Answer 1

We are given the following system of equations

`\begin{gathered} y=5 \\ -4x-6y=-26 \end{gathered}`

Let us solve the above system of equations using the substitution method.

Substitute the first equation y = 5 into the second equation.

`\begin{gathered} -4x-6y=-26 \\ -4x-6(5)=-26 \\ -4x-30=-26 \\ -4x=-26+30 \\ -4x=4 \\ x=(4)/(-4) \\ x=-1 \end{gathered}`

So, the value of x is -1

Therefore, the solution of the system of equations as an ordered pair is (-1, 5)
