Question

Find the solution of this system of equations.

Separate the x- and y-values with a comma.
x= 5 + y
28x – 9y= -12

Answer 1

x= 5 + y
28x – 9y = -12

substitute x= 5 + y into 28x – 9y = -12

28x – 9y= -12
28(5 + y) – 9y = -12
140 + 28y - 9y = -12
19y = -152
y = -8

x = 5 + y
x = 5 - 8
x = -3

solution (-3, -8)
