When are you going to stop typing? Are you writing an essay or something? @Brrandyn
Solve for one variable in an equation and thereafter, substitute in the other. For instance, let us solve for x in the given system. \[\large\ 5x-3y=-9\] Isolate the x to the other side of the equation. \[\large\ -3y=-5x-9\]Divide -3 accordingly. \[\large\ y=5/3x -3\] Substitute y into the 2nd equation. \[\large\ 2x-5y=4\]\[\large\ 2x-5(5/3x−3)=4\] Distribute & solve for x. \[\large\ x= ?\] \[[\large\ ?, y]\]
x=2?
**Correction:\[\large\ y=5/3x+3\]
\[ \large\ 2x−5(5/3x+3)=4\]
How do you solve that?
To make it easier, convert the coefficient of the parenthesis (5) into a fraction. Multiply the fractions. After, distribute the -5 with 3 and solve using basic algebra. \[\large\ -5=-15/3\]
\[\large\ 2x - ((15/3x * 5/3x) -15))=4\]
\[\large\ 2x -25x -15 = 4\] \[\large\ x=?\]
Apply the same concept with y to solve for the solution of the system.

@IrishBoy123 is it (3,2)?
