Question

-3x-3y=3
y=-5x-17.....need to make sure im doing the right steps

Answer 1

What's this?

U want to solve both equations?

Answer 2

you can re-write it as:
-y-x=1 (divide first equation by 3)
y+5x=-17
add both equation... what would you get?

Answer 3

4x=-16
x=-4
put the value of x in any given equation to find y:

Answer 4

I'll use:
-y-x=1
then: y=-x-1=-(-4)-1=4-1=3
y=3
