Question

What is the solution of the system? Use any method. 3x + 2y = 7 y = –3x + 11

Answer 1

Answer:

$(5,-4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

SOLVE BY SUBSTITUTION:

STEP 1: Replace all occurrences of $y$ with $-3x+11$ in each equation.

$-3x+22=7\\y=-3x+11$

STEP 2: Solve for $x$ in the first equation.

$x=5\\y=-3x+11$

STEP 3: Replace all occurrences of $x$ with $5$ in each equation.

$y=-4\\x=5$
