To solve the system of equations by elimination, multiply the second equation by 5 to make the coefficients of y in both equations equal:
3x - 5y = 21
10x + 5y = 5
Adding the two equations eliminates the y variable:
13x = 26
x = 2
Substitute x = 2 into one of the original equations:
2(2) + y = 1
4 + y = 1
y = -3
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (2, -3).
olve the system by either substitution or elimination.
3x−5y=212x+y=1 (1 point)
