Q. Solve the system by substitution.y=−6xy=−5x+3(□,□)
Identify Equations for Substitution: Identify the first equation to use for substitution.We have two equations:1. y=−6x2. y=−5x+3We can substitute the expression for y from the first equation into the second equation.
Substitute y into Second Equation: Substitute y=−6x into the second equation y=−5x+3. −6x=−5x+3 Now, we need to solve for x.
Solve for x: Solve for x.Add 5x to both sides of the equation to isolate x on one side.−6x+5x=3−x=3Now, divide both sides by −1 to solve for x.x=−3
Substitute x back into First Equation: Substitute x=−3 back into the first equation to solve for y.y=−6xy=−6(−3)Now, calculate the value of y.y=18
Write Solution as Ordered Pair: Write the solution as an ordered pair (x,y). The solution is (−3,18).
