y = 3x + 8
5x + 2y = 5
:
use the first equation as substitution for y in the 2nd equation
5x + 2(3x+8) = 5
5x + 6x + 16 = 5
5x + 6x = 5 - 16
11x = -11
x =
x = -1
:
Find y using the 1st equation
y = 3(-1) + 8
y = -3 + 8
y = 5
:
Check your solutions in the 2nd equation
5(-1) + 2(5) = 5
-5 + 10 = 5; confirms our solution of x=-1, y=5
