Answer 1

split at equal sign
y=x+3
y=-2x+5

Answer 2

although theres no real point in doing it since you can solve it right away

@P0sitr0n Thank you !!

Answer 4

If you were to use the substitution method to solve the following system, choose the new equation after the expression equivalent to x from the first equation is substituted into the second equation.

-x + 5y = 1
2x + 4y = -4

2(-5y + 1) + 4y = -4

2x + 4(-5y + 1) = -4

2x + 4(5y - 1) = -4

2(5y - 1) + 4y = -4


@P0sitr0n help ?

Answer 5

the last one. isolate x=5y-1, replace and voila
