Question

y=-5x - 17 -3x - 3y =3 substitute the method

Answer 1

The equation system is:

$\begin{gathered} y=-5x-17 \\ -3x-3y=3 \end{gathered}$

So to solve this system by the substitute method we already have y in terms of x in the first equation so now we can substitude that value of y in the second equation so:

$-3x-3(-5x-17)=3$

and we solve for x so:

$undefined$
