1 answer

To solve the system of equations using substitution, we have the equations:

  1. \( 5x - 2y = -6 \)
  2. \( y = 3x + 3 \)

We can substitute the expression for \(y\) from the second equation into the first equation.

Substituting \(y = 3x + 3\) into the first equation:

\[ 5x - 2(3x + 3) = -6 \]

Now, simplify this equation:

\[ 5x - 6x - 6 = -6 \]

Combine like terms:

\[ -1x - 6 = -6 \]

Adding 6 to both sides gives:

\[ -1x = 0 \]

Thus:

\[ x = 0 \]

Now that we have \(x\), we can find \(y\) by substituting \(x = 0\) back into the second equation:

\[ y = 3(0) + 3 = 3 \]

So we have the solution:

\[ (x, y) = (0, 3) \]

The answer is \((0, 3)\).
