Since <span>−3x</span><span> does not contain the </span>variable<span> to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the </span>equation<span> by adding </span><span>3x</span><span> to both sides.
</span><span>y=5x−7</span>
<span>−2y=3x−12
</span>Divide<span> each </span>term<span> in the </span>equation<span> by </span><span><span>−2</span>.
</span><span>y=5x−7</span>
<span>y=−<span><span>3x/</span>2</span>+6
</span>Create a graph<span> to locate the </span>intersection<span> of the </span>equations<span>. The </span>intersection<span> of the </span><span>system of equations</span><span> is the </span>solution<span>.
