Answer:

(-9/7,-26/7)

[more detailed at the bottom of the explanation]

Explanation:

I am assuming that this is a system of equations...

So, knowing that y is equal to x + 5, you would plug that in the second equation and find x. Then you would plug x and find y.

—————

Step 1)

Equation 1:

y = (x + 5)

Equation 2:

5x + 2y = 1

Equation 2 can also be written as:

5x + 2(x+5) = 1

I wrote x+5 instead of y because the first equation tells us that y is equal to x + 5.

—————

Step 2)

Solve for x .

5x + 2(x+5) = 1

5x + 2x + 10 = 1

7x + 10 = 1

7x = 1 - 10

7x = -9

x = -9/7

—————

Step 3)

Plug the x value back in the first equation.

y = -9/7 + 5

y = -26/7

—————

Solution:

x = -9/7

y = -26/7

In ordered pair form:

(-9/7,-26/7)
