| Question 429681:  2x-3y=21
 y=3-x
 x=4-5y
 3x+15y=-1
 
 5x-2y=14
 y=2x-5
 help me solve these for my test tomorrow

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2x-3y=21 y=3-x
 ---------------
 Substitute for "y" and solve for "x":
 2x-3(3-x) = 21
 2x-9+3x = 21
 5x = 30
 x = 6
 ---
 Solve for "y":
 y = 3-x
 y = 3-6
 y = -3
 ==========================================================
 
 x=4-5y
 3x+15y=-1
 Substitute for "x" and solve for "y":
 3(4-5y)+15y = -1
 12-15y+15y = -1
 12 = -1
 ----
 There is no solution for this system of 2 equations.
 There is no point (x,y) that satisfies both equations.
 ========================================================
 5x-2y=14
 y=2x-5
 ---
 Substitute for "y" and solve for "x":
 5x - 2(2x-5) = 14
 5x -4x+10 = 14
 x = 4
 ---
 Solve for "y":
 y = 2x-5
 y = 2*4-5
 y = 3
 ===========================================
