Finish solving the system of equations.

x – 5y = 6

–x + 2y = –3

–3y = 3

What is the value of y?


Substitute the value of y back into one of the original equations to find the value of x. What is the value of x?

Respuesta :

Answers:  x = 1 and y = -1

Explanation:

Start where your teacher left off, which is -3y = 3.

We solve for y by dividing both sides by -3

That turns -3y = 3 into y = -1

Then we use this y value to find x

x - 5y = 6

x - 5(-1) = 6

x + 5 = 6

x = 6-5

x = 1

The solution is (x,y) = (1, -1)
I confirm the answer is x=1 and y=-1
