Question

Solve each system of equations by substitution. Clearly identify your solution.

Answer 1

y = -2

x = -7

Explanation:

Substitute y= 5x + 33

5x + 33 = 3x + 19

Isolate x for 5x + 33 = 3x + 19: x = -7

For y = 5x + 33

Substitute x = -7

y = 5(-7) + 33

y = -2

So the solution is y= -2, x=-7

Answer 2

(-7,-2)

Explanation:

y = 3x + 19

y = 5x + 33

Substitute in y. Basically set equal to each other.

3x + 19 = 5x + 33

-2x = 14

x = -7

y = 3 (-7) + 19

y = -21 + 19

y = -2
