Answer:

(- 1, - 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x - 3y = 5 → (1)

5x - 2y = - 1 → (2)

Rearrange (1) expressing x in terms of y by adding 3y to both sides

x = 5 + 3y → (3)

Substitute x = 5 + 3y in (2)

5(5 + 3y) - 2y = - 1 ← distribute left side

25 + 15y - 2y = - 1

25 + 13y = - 1 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

13y = - 26 ( divide both sides by 13 )

y = - 2

Substitute y = - 2 in (3) for corresponding value of x

x = 5 + (3 × - 2) = 5 - 6 = - 1

Solution is (- 1, - 2 )

Erica solved the equation −5x − 25 = 78; her work is shown below. Identify the error and where it was made. (5 points)
NemiM [27]
If you would like to solve the equation -5x - 25 = 78, you should do this using the following steps:

<span>-5x - 25 = 78
</span>-5x - 25 + 25 = 78 + 25
-5x + 0 = 103
-5x = 103 /(-5)
x = 103 / (-5)
x = - 103/5 = - 20.6

The error was already made at step 1.
