By substitution, we can set y = -5 + x in the second equation:
-5 + x = 1 - 2x
3x = 6
x = 2
Plugging x = 2 back into y = -5 + x, we get:
y = -5 + 2
y = -3
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (2, -3).
Find the solution to the system of equations by using either graphing or substitution.
y minus x equals negative 5 line break y equals 1 minus 2x
