Question

Solve each system using SUBSTITUTION. Remember to check!

Answer 1

Answer:

$\left \{ {{x=3} \atop {y=-7}} \right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can directly substitute y of the first equation to the second equation.

-2x - 1 = 3x - 16

5x = 15

x = 3

Substituting back to any of the two equations, we get y = -2(3)-1 = -7.  If you check with the second equation, y = 3(3)-16 = -7 as well.

Therefore $\left \{ {{x=3} \atop {y=-7}} \right.$.
