Question 117130
Solve by using substitution or elimination:
x=3y+11   (Eqn 1)
2x+5y=0   (Eqn 2)

_______________________________________________________

Solve by substitution(substitute expression for x found in Eqn 1 into Eqn 2:

2(3y+11)+5y=0

Use distributive property to clear the parentheses with multiplication:

2*3y + 2*11 + 5y = 0

6y+22+5y=0

Combine like terms:

6y+5y +22=0

11y+22=0

Subtract 22 from both sides to isolate the y-term:

11y+22-22=0-22

11y = -22

Divide both sides by 11 to get y:

11y/11=-22/11

y = -2

Find x value by plugging in y into Eqn 1:

x = 3(-2) + 11

x = -6 + 11

x = 5

Hope that helps.
