Question

Can someone help me solve this algebraically? I’ll give brainliest!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Your solution was correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x + 5

y = 2x - 1

(-6,-13) ?

Rearrange equations and eliminate the y variable to solve for x variable:

y = 3x + 5  ---> y - 5 = 3x

y = 2x - 1   ---> y + 1 = 2x

Subtract the bottom equation from the top equation:

-5 = 3x

1 = 2x

-6 = x

Substitute x = -6 into y = 2x - 1

y = 2x - 1

y = 2(-6) - 1

y = -12 - 1

y = -13
