linear equations using subsitution

Question

x-3y=13 and -5x+4y=-32. what would x and y be equal to?

Answer 1

From the first equation, get

x = 3y + 13

Plug this into the second equation and get

-5(3y + 13) + 4y = -32

Now solve this for y, then plug the result for y into either of the given equations, and solve for x. You should be able to finish from here.
