Answer:

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
