Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
15x - 10y = 11
15y = -2 + 5x
...
rearrange the first equation as
15x = 11 + 10y
x =
...
Plug into the second equation
15y = -2 + 5()
15y = -2 +
...
Multiply the entire equation by 3
45y = -6 + 11 + 10y
45y - 10y = -6 + 11
35y = 5

...
Solve for x

15x =
15x =
x =
x =
x =
