PLEASE HELP! IM ALMOST DONE WITH THIS ASSIGNMENT PLSSS HELPP ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST SHOW UR WORK

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -3

y = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

2y = x - 13

3x = y - 1;  let y = 3x + 1

substitute to solve for 'x':

2(3x + 1) = x - 13

6x + 2 = x - 13

5x + 2 = -13

5x = -15

x = -3

solve for 'y':

3(-3) = y - 1

-9 = y - 1

-8 = y

Answer 2

Answer:

(-3,-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Get one of the variables by themself.

3x = y-1

y = 3x+1

Plug that equation into the other one

2(3x+1) = x-13

Distribute the 2 to 3x+1

6x+2 = x-13

Combine like terms

6x+2 = x-13

-x       -x

5x+2 = x-13

    -2        -2

5x = -15

Divide by 5 on both sides

5x = -15

÷5   ÷5

x = -3

Find y

3(-3) = y-1

-9 = y-1

+1       +1

y = -8
