3(x+y)=2x-1,x+y=-5

Solution

3 (x + y) = 2 x - 1, x + y = - 5

Solution

x = - 7, y = 2

Solution steps

[3 (x + y) = 2 x - 1 x + y = - 5]

Isolate

x

for

x + y = - 5 : x = - 5 - y

Substitute

x = - 5 - y

[3 (- 5 - y + y) = 2 (- 5 - y) - 1]

Simplify

[- 15 = - 2 y - 11]

Isolate

y

for

- 15 = - 2 y - 11 : y = 2

For

x = - 5 - y

Substitute

y = 2

x = - 5 - 2

Simplify

x = - 7

The solutions to the system of equations are:

x = - 7, y = 2

2 x + 3 y = 53, 3 x - y = 19

4x+6y=2,6x+5y=1

4 x + 6 y = 2, 6 x + 5 y = 1

5x-3y=-16,5x+3y=2

5 x - 3 y = - 16, 5 x + 3 y = 2

2 x + y = 5, x - y = 1

2 x - y = 6, x - y = 2
