Answer:

Explanation:

Given the system of equation x−3y=−3 and x+y=5, we can solve for x and y by solving the equation simultaneously using the substitution method.

x−3y=−3_____________ 1

x+y=5 ______________2

From equation 2; x = 5- y ________ 3

Substitute equation 3 into equation 1

Since x - 3y = -3

(5-y)-3y = -3

5-y-3y = -3

5-4y = -3

Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation

5-4y-5 = -3-5

-4y = -8

Divide both sides by -4

-4y/-4 = -8/-4

y = 2

Substitute y = 2 into equation 2 to get the value of y;

From equation 2, x+y = 5

x+2 = 5

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation

x+2-2 = 5-2

x = 3

Hence the value of x and y from the graph will be 3 and 2 respectively.
