What i mean is are you trying to find x and y? or something else?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont think so they say the answer is y=-x+5

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

you see x + y = 5 Subtract x on both sides x + y - x = 5 - x Simplify both sides y = 5 - x y = 5 + (-x) y = (-x) + 5 y = -x + 5 That is how they reached the answer. Do you understand?
