use substitution method
OpenStudy (shamim):
U hv to put the value of y frm second equation into first equation
OpenStudy (carolinar7):
Ok its better you start of with substitution
OpenStudy (carolinar7):
So solve 5x+2(x+1)=7
OpenStudy (shamim):
5x+2(x+1)=7
x=?

Remember Pemdas and distribute first
OpenStudy (carolinar7):
From there combine like terms and then solve for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i don't know what are you guys talking about
OpenStudy (shamim):
5x+2x+2=7
Right
OpenStudy (carolinar7):
7x=5

@john_97
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
divide 7 by both sides for 7x=5
then you got the x value
OpenStudy (carolinar7):
5x+2y=7
y=1+x Substitute the value for y in the first equation
5x+2(1+x)=7 Now Distribute and Combine like terms
5x+2x+2=7
-2 -2
7x=5
/7 /7
x=5/7
Now substitute the value of x in the any equation to find y
