Question

Please help... Need answers! Will Fan!
In the below system, solve for y in the first equation.

2x + y = 11
5x - 2y = -1
AND
What is the value of y in the solution to the following system of equations?

5x - 3y = -3
2x - 6y = -6
Please Help!

Answer 1

Do you know the reduction or substitution methods?

Answer 2

For example, in the case of substitution you can solve the first equation for y
\[y=11-2x\]And substitute this into the second equation,
\[5x-2(11-2x)=-1\] And solve for x.

Answer 3

The same can be applied to the second system of equations you posted.

Answer 4

I know of nether methods. I am so lost.

Answer 5

Can you solve the system in the form I left to you?

Answer 6

5x−2(11−2x)=−1?

Answer 7

Also, here are the answer choices:
question 1:
2x + 11
-2x + 11
2x - 11
-2x - 11
question 2:
-1
zero
1
2

Answer 8

Well, XD I think I gave you the answer in the first post.
\[y=-2x+11\]

Answer 9

For question 2, you should solve the system by the substitution method.

Answer 10

Although it is easier if you use reduction.

Answer 11

I would rewrite the second system after divide by 2 the second equation,

5x - 3y = -3
x - 3y = -3

And then I would solve for x in the second,

x=-3+3y

And substitute in the first,

5(-3+3y)-3y=-3

And solve for y.

Answer 12

Do you understand it?

Answer 13

It seems that y=1, but better try to find the solution by yourself.

Answer 14

Ok, I am just having trouble with the first equation now.
I got 1 for the 2nd problem, correct?
