Answer: x=4.41 y= -7.35

Explanation:

Pretty basic just graph them using Desmos...

Showing your work you would need to get x on one side then y on the other.

Because 3y is positive I personally like to use that one first. The inverse operation of 3y is divide so you divide 3y by 3 and the 3s cancel out. Divide -22.05 by 3 and you get -7.35. Which is your y value.

Finding X is a bit more difficult, you need to divide by -5 which is the obvious inverse operation. So, -22.05/-5 and you get 4.41. Which is your X value.
