Since y = 5x-1, we can fill it into 3x + 3y = -3. First, let's look at relating to a simpler equation. Let's say that x + y = 9 and y = 3 + 5. Now, we can fill it in to get that x + (3 + 5) = 9. Now, we know that 3+5 is 8, so x + 8 = 9. Now, x = 1. Likewise, we can do the same. For 3x + 3y = -3, all we need to do is to switch the y in 3x + 3y = -3 with 5x - 1. So it would become 3x + 3(5x - 1) = -3. Now we distribute to get 3x + 15x - 3 = -3. Now add three to both sides to get 3x + 15x = 0. Now simplify to get 18x = 0. Now we know that x = 0. Now fill x into y = 5x - 1. So y = 5(0) - 1. Now we know that y = -1.
To check fill in the answer to 3x + 3y = -3.
3(0) + 3(-1) = -3
0 + (-3) = -3
0 - 3 = -3
-3 = -3
Now that our check is completed we now know that x is 0 and y is -1.

2= 5n+17
0= 5n+15
-15= 5n
-3= n
Judging by the question at hand I generated this equation.
x+y=12
x=2y
I begin this question by plugging in the x=2y into the equation for x.
So the new equation should be 3y=12. I then divide the entire equation by 3 to get y=4.
Next I plug y=4 into the equation, the new equation should be x+4=12. I then subtract 4 from both sides to get x=8.
The two numbers are :
x=8 y=4
Answer:
B) (3,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -2x + 7
y = 3x - 8
3x - 8 = -2x + 7
combine like terms:
5x = 15
divide both sides of the equation by 5:
x = 3
y = 3(3) - 8 = 1
