Question

Solve the system by substitution.
y = 5x
y = -3x + 24
pls help :(

Answer 1

Answer:

x=3, y=15

Step-by-step explanation:

We substitute 5x for y, getting 5x = -3x + 24. We add 3 x to both sides, and have a equation like this: 8x = 24. Divide by 8 on both sides, and we know that x = 3. Since y is 5x, y is 5*3, which is 15.
