Question

What is the solution to this system?
2x + 6y = -2

5x - 3y = 31

Answer 1

2x+6y=-2 x is -3y-1 and 5x-3y=31 x is 3y+31/5

Explanation:

5x−3y=31

Add 3y to both sides.

5x=31+3y

The equation is in standard form.

5x=3y+31

Divide both sides by 5.

5

5x = 5

3y+31

​Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.

x= 5

3y+31
