The system of equations is: 3x - y = 11 2x + 5y = -4 _________ Rewrite the first equation: y = 3x - 11 _________ Substitute y in the second equation and solve x: 2x + 5(3x - 11) = -4 2x + 5 * 3x + 5 * (-11) = -4 2x + 15x - 55 = -4 17x = 55 - 4 17x = 51 x = 51 / 17 x = 3 _______ Substitute x in the equation: y = 3x - 11 y = 3 * 3 -11 y = 9 - 11 y = -2
