Answer:

All you need to do is make sure the first expression is solved for y (which it is), and then substitute it into the second expression in place of any occurrences of y:

given the second expression:

x - y = 1

We'll replace y with it's value in the first expression:

x - (y) = 1

x - (5 - 2x) = 1

Now we can expand the resulting equation:

x - 5 + 2x = 1

So <em>neither</em> of the answers provided are correct.

You can then solve for x:

x - 5 + 2x = 1

x - 5 + 5 + 2x = 1 + 5

x + 2x = 6

3x = 6

3x/3 = 6/3

x = 2

After that, you can find y by plugging x into either of the two original equations:

y = 5 - 2x

y = 5 - 2(2)

y = 5 - 4

y = 1
