Solve using the substitution method. 2x+5y= 27 x= 17−3y @kohai

OpenStudy (kohai):

Ok, this I can help you with

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (kohai):

So they already give you what x equals, so you plug it into the other equation, like this |dw:1423635365283:dw| Does that part make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes...43 -6y 5y =27

OpenStudy (anonymous):

34(typo)

OpenStudy (kohai):

Yes. So then you simplify this and find y. Then you plug y back into the equation to find x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I simplify this by adding like terms so that's -6y + 5y...right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u there? @kohai

OpenStudy (kohai):

That's correct

OpenStudy (kohai):

So what do you get when you simplify?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1

OpenStudy (kohai):

|dw:1423635825605:dw| Continuing to simplify
