x=y+5 and 2x-3y=7 substition work out

--------------

2x-3y=7

2(y+5)-3y=7 ... replace every copy of x with y+5 (since x = y+5)

2y+10-3y=7

-y+10 = 7

-y = 7-10

-y = -3

y = -3/(-1)

y = 3

-----------

x = y+5

x = 3+5

x = 8

=======================================================

Answer: x = 8, y = 3
