How do solve the following linear system?: 5x - 3y = -29 , x - 3y = -6 5x−3y=−29,x−3y=−6? Algebra Systems of Equations and Inequalities Systems Using Substitution 1 Answer Jennifer C. Dec 8, 2015 (-2, 1/12)(−2,112) Explanation: x-3y=-6x−3y=−6 x=3y-6x=3y−6 plug in xx for 5x-3y=-295x−3y=−29 5(3y-6)-3y=-295(3y−6)−3y=−29 15y-30-3y=-2915y−30−3y=−29 12y=112y=1 y=1/12y=112 plug in yy in x=3y-6x=3y−6 to find xx x=3(1/12)-6x=3(112)−6 x=4-6x=4−6 x=-2x=−2 (-2, 1/12)(−2,112) Answer link Related questions How do you solve systems of equations using the substitution method?
