Question

solve using substituion method
2x+5y=-5
x+3y=3

Answer 1

I don't think you can divide by two and then subtract randomly off of the other parts. What is the direct question?

Answer 2

Well It just says "solve using substitution or elimination methods. I have 3 questions like this.

Answer 3

No, the actual question please. Or are those two questions? It looks like you divided 2x by 2 to get just x but only subtracted 2 from the other ones. I don't think -5 divided by 2 is 3. Or is it? Correct me if I'm wrong from some crazy formula but yeah.

Answer 4

its asking me to solve that system using whatever method. I dont understand which method to use or how to do it. im not sure what your thinking lol.

Answer 5

2x+5y=-5
x+3y=3

2 (x + 3y = 3) = 2x + 6y = 6

2x + 5y = -5
2x + 6y = 6
Subtract the bottom equation from the top.
2x + 5y = -5
-2x - 6y = -6
-y = -11
Divide both sides by -1.
y = 11

2x + 5(11) = -5
2x + 55 = -5
2x = -60
x = -30

2x + 6(11) = 6
2x + 66 = 6
2x = -60
x = -30

y = 11 and x = -30

Answer 6

I appreciate it. I am not good at math at all
