Question

Use substitution to solve the system.

x=3y+5
5x-4y=14
______________
x=
y=

Answer 1

So what you do is go 5(3y+5)-4y=14 which equals 15y+25-4y=14 which turns into 11y+25=14 than you move the 25 over which equals 11y=-11 so y=-1 then you enter -1 in for y which looks like 5x-4(-1)=14 than you solve that which is 5x+4=14 than you move the 4 over and you get 5x=10 than x=2

x=2
y=-1
