so 5x -3 (2x-8) = 21
5x - 6x + 24 =21
-x = -3
x = 3
and
y = 2(3) -8 = -2

3y-11=x
3x+5y=9
3(3y-11)+5y=9
9y-33+5y=9
14y=9+33
14y=42
y=42/14=3
x=3y-11=3*3-11=9-11=-2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=3 and x=-2

-2x+y=1
5x+4y=17

please help @shahd-owies
OpenStudy (surry99):
rearrange the first to give: y = 1 + 2x
then
5x + 4(1 + 2x) = 17
5x + 4 + 8x = 17
13x = 13
x =1
y = 1 + 2x = 1 + 2(1) = 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-2x+y=1
y=1+2x
5x+4y=17
5x+4(1+2x)=17
5x+4+8x=17
13x=13 so x=1
y=1+2x=1+2=3
y=3
