Question

System of equations algebraically substitution y=x+3 y=2x+5

Answer 1

Answer: (-2, 1)

Explanation:

y = x + 3

y = 2x + 5

Using substitution, replace "y" in the second equation with what y equals in the first equation:

x + 3 = 2x + 5

3 = x + 5

-2 = x

Now substitute "x" with -2 and solve for y

y = (-2) + 3

y = 1
