Use substitution to solve the system

Question

y=2x-11

5x+2y=5

Answer 1

Quintin, is most of your assignment posted here? Maybe you need to engage a tutor.

y=2x-11

5x+2y=5

The first equation is solved for y, which is why this system is a good candidate for using substitution.

It means you can have 2x - 11 replace y in the second equation.

5x +2(2x-11) = 5

Now you have an equation that is focused on x and you can solve for that.

You can do it.
