Question

Х+5y = 3
3х - 2y = -8

Answer 1

Solve for X: x+5y=3

Subtract 5y from both sides: x=3−5y

Substitute
x=3−5y into 3x−2y=−8

Start with the original equation: 3x−2y=−8

Let x=3−5y: 3(3−5y)−2y=−8

Simplify: 9−17y=−8

Solve for y in 9−17y=−8: y=1

Substitute y=1 into , x=3−5y : x=-2


X=-2
Y=1

Answer 2

X equals -2 and y equals 1
