Type the ordered pair that is the solution to these equations. x = 5y 2x - 3y = 14

Question

Type the ordered pair that is the solution to these equations.

x = 5y
2x - 3y = 14

Answer 1

You already have the first equation which has been solved for x.  You can substitute this into the second equation to solve for y and then use the value of y in the first equation to solve for x.  

 

2(5y) - 3y = 14

10y - 3y = 14

7y = 14

y = 2

 

x = 5(2)

x = 10

 

The ordered pair solution would be in the form (x,y), therefore your answer can be represented as (10,2)
