Question 1060645
<font color=black size=3>Let's solve for y in equation 1



-5x+y=-3



-5x+y-5x=-3-5x



y=-3-5x



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Now we'll use y=-3-5x to plug into the other equation



3x-8y = 24



3x-8( y ) = 24



3x-8( -3-5x ) = 24 ... replace y with -3-5x; solve for x



3x-8(-3)+8(-5x) = 24



3x+24-40x = 24



3x-40x+24 = 24



-37x+24 = 24



-37x+24-24 = 24-24



-37x = 0



-37x/(-37) = 0/(-37)



x = 0



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Now that we know x = 0, we can use this to find y



y=-3-5x



y=-3-5*0 ... replace x with 0



y=-3-0



y=-3



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



So together, x = 0 and y = -3. 



They form the ordered pair (0,-3)



Visually, the two equations will graph 2 straight lines that meet at (0,-3)</font>
