Question 688640: I am having trouble using the substitute method to solve the simultaneous equation:
y=5x+3
y=2x-9
I have tried to substitute variable y of the second equation into first:
2x-9=5x+3
And then solve for x, but I'm not getting the right answer?
Please could you explain what I am doing wrong and how I should be doing it. Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5x + 3 = 2x - 9
5x - 2x = -9 - 3
3x = -12
...
y = 5(-4) + 3
y = -20 + 3
...
The solution is
(-4, -17)
