Question

Solve each system by substitution
-5x-6y=2
Y=3

Answer 1

x = -4, y = 3.

Explanation:

Substitute y = 3 into the first equation:

-5x - 6(3) = 2

-5x = 2 + 18

-5x = 20

x = -4

Answer 2

This equation would turn into: -5x-6(3)=2. We then would multiply to make: -5x - 18 = 2. Next we would add 18 to both sides to create: -5x = 20. Last in this step would be dividing which would give us: x = 4.
