-5x+y=-3 and 3x-8=24 solve by substition

Question

tkhunny · Answer

Check the problem.  Is the scond equation supposed to be "8y" rather than just "8"?

In any case, "substitution" calles for something to substitute.  Please solve one equation for one variable.  The 'y' in the first equation looks tempting.

tkhunny · Answer

Did you try solving one equation for one variable?

Solve the first equation for y.

-5x + y = -3

Note: If you tell me again that you have no idea, I am going to assume you have been missing class (for whatever reason).  This will suggest a very long talk with your academic advisor.
