Solve for y: Solve the second equation for y.Equation: −x+y=1Add x to both sides: y=x+1
Substitute into first equation: Substitute y=x+1 into the first equation.Original: 5x+2y=−19Substitute: 5x+2(x+1)=−19Simplify: 5x+2x+2=−19Combine like terms: 7x+2=−19
Solve for x: Solve for x.Subtract 2 from both sides: 7x=−21Divide by 7: x=−3
Substitute x back into y: Substitute x=−3 back into y=x+1 to find y.Substitute: y=−3+1Calculate: y=−2
