y=−2x−2

Question

and 2x−2y=5

what is the solution

Answer 1

To find the solution, we can first rewrite the second equation in terms of y:

2x - 2y = 5
-2y = -2x + 5
y = x - 5/2

Now we can substitute this expression for y into the first equation:

y = -2x - 2
x - 5/2 = -2x - 2

Now, solve for x:

x + 2x = 5/2 - 2
3x = 1/2
x = 1/6

Now, substitute x back into the expression for y to find its value:

y = 1/6 - 5/2
y = 1/6 - 15/6
y = -14/6
y = -7/3

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 1/6 and y = -7/3.
