Question

Solve the system by substitution y+X=3 2y+x=-5

Answer 1

Explanation:

We have the system:

y+x=3

2y+x=-5

the question asks us to solve by substitution..

Let's subtract y from both sides of the first equation

y+x=3

-y -y

x=3-y

now, let's substitute 3-y as x into the second equation

2y+3-y=-5

combine like terms

y+3=-5

subtract 3 from both sides

y=-8

so the value of y is -8

now let's use that information to solve for x; we know that x is 3-y, so let's substitute the value of y to find x

x=3-y

x=3--8

x=11

the value of x is 11

as a point, your answer is (11,-8)

Hope this helps! :D
