Question

HELP PLZZ, this another one, i got a couple more questions

Answer 1

x = 29

y = 10

Explanation:

x - 3y = -1

Add 3y to both sides;

x = 3y - 1

2x - 5y = 8

Substitute x

2x - 5y = 8

2(3y - 1) - 5y = 8

Distribute;

6y - 2 - 5y = 8

Collect like terms;

y - 2 = 8

Add 2 to both sides;

y = 10

Substitute y

x - 3y = -1

x - 3(10) = -1

x - 30 = -1

Add 30 to both sides;

x = 29
