5x = y + 37 x= - 5y - 29

Sagot :

The given system of equations is expressed as

5x = y + 37

x = - 5y - 29

We would apply the method of substitution by substituting equation 2 into equation1. It becomes

5(- 5y - 29) = y + 37

- 25y - 145 = y + 37

y + 25y = - 145 - 37

26y = - 182

y = - 182/26

y = - 7

Substituting y = - 7 into the second equation, it becomes

x = - 5 * - 7 - 29

x = 35 - 29

x = 6

The solution is (6, - 7)
