Question

Solve this system of equations by the substitution method.
5x-3y=-11
3x+2y=1

Answer 1

in the second equation: x= (1-2y)/3
then replacing x in the first equation:
5(1-2y)/3 -3y=-11
so that leaves y=2 and x= -1

Answer 2

meh yours is more simplified, mines was gonna be long, but for explanation purposes

Answer 3

you should do it anyway ^^...

Answer 4

I don't like that method of substitution. I'd rather solve for y first, then set y = y and eliminate y as a variable that way.

Answer 5

Sometimes, it's not always about "simplified"

Answer 6

@Hero, what you said is the same I did......but I did it with the 'x' instead of with the 'y'....in the end is the same process :S........
