–5x + 6y = 17

x = –7

1 answer

To solve the system of equations with the provided values, we start with the equation:

\[ -5x + 6y = 17 \]

And we know that:

\[ x = -7 \]

Now, we'll substitute \(x\) with \(-7\) in the equation:

\[ -5(-7) + 6y = 17 \]

Calculating the left side:

\[ 35 + 6y = 17 \]

Next, we'll solve for \(6y\) by isolating it:

\[ 6y = 17 - 35 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 6y = -18 \]

Now, we can solve for \(y\):

\[ y = \frac{-18}{6} = -3 \]

Thus, the solution to the equations is:

\[ x = -7, \quad y = -3 \]

The ordered pair is \((-7, -3)\).
