Y = 5 - 3x....so sub in 5 - 3x for y in the other equation

5x - 4y = -3
5x - 4(5 - 3x) = -3.....distribute the -4 thru the parenthesis
5x - 20 + 12x = -3...add 20 to both sides
5x + 12x = -3 + 20...combine like terms
17x = 17...divide both sides by 17
x = 17/17
x = 1

now sub 1 in for x into either of the original equations to find y
y = 5 - 3x
y = 5 - 3(1)
y = 5 - 3
y = 2

check...
5x - 4y = -3
5(1) - 4(2) = -3
5 - 8 = -3
-3 = -3 (correct)

so ur solution is (1,2)

Tcecarenko [31]
There are 2 walls that are 9 feet each and then 2 walls that are 6 feet each. Adding those up will give you 30 feet of fencing. If you need 1 gallon for every 10 feet and there are 30 feet of fencing, that would mean that you need 3 gallons of paint.
