Solve using substitution

5x-2y= 0 and 3x=y =-1

I assume you meant 3x+y = -1

So, 6x+2y = -2
But, 2y=5x, so
6x+5x = -2

now solve for x and then get y.
You're right it should of read 3x=y=-1. Y is equal to -5/11. Please give a step by step to get -5/11 answer.i'm stuck on the fraction part.Thank you.
it's just a fraction.
x = -2/11
y = -5/11

That is the solution.

Fractions are numbers, just like 5 and -12. No reason to be afraid of them.

and that's

should have read 3x+y=-1
