Question

Solve the system of equations
y= 2x + 3
y = x - 5

Answer 1

x = 2.66 repeating or 2
`(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

substitute y for x - 5

y = 2x + 3

x - 5 = 2x + 3

subtract 3 from both sides of the equation

x - 5 - 3 = 2x

x - 8 = 2x

subtract x from both sides of the equation

-8 = 2x - x

-8 = -3x

divide both sides of the equation by -3

-8/-3 = x

2.66 repeating = x

Answer 2

This might be the answer- x=−8 y=−13
