X - 3y = 1 3x - 5y = 11
The answers are...x=7 y=2
I would isolate x in the first equation:x = 3y + 1For the second equation, you could just substitute the x inside:3x - 5y = 113(3y +1) - 5y = 119y + 3 - 5y = 114y + 3 = 114y = 8y = 2Using the y = 2, we can find x.x = 3y + 1x = 3(2) + 1x = 7x = 7 and y = 2
