Question

What is the solution to the system of equations? {x=5y=2x−1 (5, 9) (9, 5) (5, 11) (11, 5)

Answer 1

(5, 9)

Explanation:

Given:

The equations to solve are:

`x=5\\y=2x-1`

Since the value of 'x' is given, we solve this system of equations using Substitution method.

We have to solve this by substituting in the value of 'x' from first equation into second equation.

Therefore, the second equation becomes

`y=2(5)-1\\\\y=10-1\\\\y=9`

Therefore, the values are:
`x=5, y=9`

Hence, the solution is in ordered pair form is (5, 9).
