Answer: (0,5)

Explanation:

Since "y" is equal to -6x+5 everywhere you see a "y" you can replace it with -6x+5.

-2x-6x+5=5

Combine like terms

-8x+5=5

Isolate x (subtract 5 from both sides)

-8x=0

Solve for x

x=0

Now that you have the value for "x" you can substitute the value into either equation and solve for y

-2(0)+y =5

y=5

or

y=-6(0)+5

y=5
