Question

Which equation shows the result of substituting and expression for y from the first equation into the second equation for the given system {y=x+5 {y-2x=2

Answer 1

Answer:

x-2x = -3 and x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

y=x+5.... 1

y-2x=2.... 2

Substituting the first equation into the second we will have;

From 2;

y -2x = 2

x+5-2x = 2

x-2x +5 = 2

x-2x = 2-5

x-2x = -3

-x =-3

x =3

Hence the required equation is x-2x = -3 and x = 3

Answer 2

Answer:

(x + 5) – 2x = 2
