8x+3y=34
-5x+y=27

The following will solve the system of equations using substitution.

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE linear system by SUBSTITUTION
Solve:
+system%28+%0D%0A++++8%5Cx+%2B+3%5Cy+=+34%2C%0D%0A++++-5%5Cx+%2B+1%5Cy+=+27+%29%0D%0A++We'll use substitution. After moving 3*y to the right, we get:
8%2Ax+=+34+-+3%2Ay, or x+=+34%2F8+-+3%2Ay%2F8. Substitute that
into another equation:
-5%2A%2834%2F8+-+3%2Ay%2F8%29+%2B+1%5Cy+=+27 and simplify: So, we know that y=16.7826086956522. Since x+=+34%2F8+-+3%2Ay%2F8, x=-2.04347826086958.

Answer: system%28+x=-2.04347826086958%2C+y=16.7826086956522+%29.



I hope the above steps were helpful.
