Answer:
x = 6 and y = 17
The solution is 6, 17
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2x + 5;y = 3x − 1
Step 1: Solve y = 2x + 5 for y:
y=2x+5
Step 2: Substitute 2x + 5 for y in y=3x−1:
y=3x−1
2x+5=3x−1
2x+5+−3x=3x−1+−3x(Add -3x to both sides)
−x+5=−1
−x+5+−5=−1+−5(Add -5 to both sides)
−x=−6
-x/-1 = -6/-1 (Divide both sides by -1)
x = 6
Step: Substitute 6 for x in y=2x+5:
y=2x+5
y=(2)(6)+5
y=17(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
x=6 and y=17
