@Michele_Laino

Answer 7

that's right!

Answer 8

nw we substitute x=1, for example, into the first equation, so we get:
6-5y=5
5y=1
so what is y?

Answer 9

@FEARLESS_JOCEY

Answer 10

y = 5 ?

Answer 11

@Michele_Laino

Answer 12

no, please y=1/5

Answer 13

Oh okay.

Answer 14

So what is the next step?

Answer 15

sorry again:
we have
5y=1
so y=1/5
then the solution of your system is:x=1, and y=1/5

Answer 16

then the requested x-coordinate is 1
