No, the point (5, -3) is not a solution to this system of equations.
For y = x + 2, when substituting x = 5 into the equation, we get y = 5 + 2 = 7. However, for the second equation y = x + 5, when substituting x = 5 into the equation, we get y = 5 + 5 = 10.
Thus, at x = 5, y = 7 for the first equation, and y = 10 for the second equation. Since the y-values are not equal, the point (5, -3) is not a solution to the system of equations.
Is the point (5, -3) a solution to this system of equations?
y = x + 2
y = x + 5
