Answer:

The answer is (0.4, 1)

Explanation:

y = -5x + 3 ........... Equation 1

y = 1 ................ Equation 2

To solve the equation substitute equation 2 into equation 1

That's

Substitute y = 1 into y = - 5x + 3

So we have

1 = - 5x + 3

Group like terms

- 5x = 1 - 3

- 5x = - 2

Divide both sides by - 5

x = 2/5

x = 0.4

Substitute x = 0.4 into equation 1

That's

y = - 5( 0.4 ) + 3

y = - 2 + 3

y = 1

The solution for the system of equations is

( 0.4 , 1)

Hope this helps you
