Step 1. 5x-4(-3x+5)=-3 step 2. distribute 5x+12x-20=-3 step 3. combine like terms 17x-20=-3 step 4. add 20 17x=17 step 5. divide 17 x=1 step 6. fill x in first equation y=-3(1)+5 step 7. combine y=2 x=1 y=2
step 1. fill in for y -3x-3(-5x-17)=3 step 2. distribute -3x+15x+ 51=3 step 3. combine 12x+51=3 step 4. minus 51 12x= 48 step 5. divide by 12 x= 4 step 6. fill in x to find y y=-5(4)-17 step 7. combine y=-20-17 y=-37 x=4
Use a^2+b^2=c^2. so u might have two answer one if u plug 17 and 12 as your a and b and solve for c second is when you plug 12 as a and 17 as 17 qnd solve for b. hope this helped
