Question

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

Answer 1

What are you solving for?

Answer 2

x & y

Answer 3

Multiply both sides of the first equation by -2 .
The y terms will subtract out.

Answer 4

I think when you have this kind of problem you're supposed to substitute the variable you're not solving for with 0.

Answer 5

So if you want to solve x, it would be 5x = 5 and 3x = 3
...so I guess x is 1, lol

Now that you know x = 1, substitute x for 1 when solving for y.
5 + y = 5
3 + 2y = 3
...so y is 0.
