Solve each system of equations. Show your work.

1. -2x + 3y = 8
3x – y = -5

Okay, so the answers I got don't seem right so I just want you guys to check them. I got x = -7/11 and y= 33/102 which don't seem like good answers, I don't know. Thanks!

multiply the first equation with 3 and the second equation with 2, you should get
-6x+9y=24 and
6x-2y=-10
solve them to get y=2 and x=-1

mrnood · Answer

the second equation can be rewritten as
y=(3x+5)

so in the first equation put (3x+5) as a substitute for y

The result will give you a simple solution for x (yours is wrong btw)
