solution:

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE linear system by SUBSTITUTION
Solve:
+system%28+%0D%0A++++5%5Cx+%2B+-2%5Cy+=+-5%2C%0D%0A++++1%5Cx+%2B+-5%5Cy+=+3+%29%0D%0A++We'll use substitution. After moving -2*y to the right, we get:
5%2Ax+=+-5+-+-2%2Ay, or x+=+-5%2F5+-+-2%2Ay%2F5. Substitute that
into another equation:
1%2A%28-5%2F5+-+-2%2Ay%2F5%29+%2B+-5%5Cy+=+3 and simplify: So, we know that y=-0.869565217391304. Since x+=+-5%2F5+-+-2%2Ay%2F5, x=-1.34782608695652.

Answer: system%28+x=-1.34782608695652%2C+y=-0.869565217391304+%29.
