Full solution

Q. Solve using substitution. 5x2y=7 5x - 2y = -7 x=5 x = -5 (_,_)
  1. Substitute x=5x = -5: Substitute x=5x = -5 into the first equation 5x2y=75x - 2y = -7.\newlineCalculation: 5(5)2y=75(-5) - 2y = -7 which simplifies to 252y=7-25 - 2y = -7.
  2. Isolate y by adding: Isolate y by adding 2525 to both sides of the equation 252y=7-25 - 2y = -7.\newlineCalculation: 252y+25=7+25-25 - 2y + 25 = -7 + 25 which simplifies to 2y=18-2y = 18.
  3. Divide both sides: Divide both sides of the equation 2y=18-2y = 18 by 2-2 to solve for yy. Calculation: y=182y = \frac{18}{-2} which simplifies to y=9y = -9.
  4. Write the solution: We have found the values of xx and yy. The solution is x=5x = -5 and y=9y = -9. Write the solution as a coordinate point. The coordinate point is (5,9)(-5, -9).
