Systems of equations by substitution

(-2,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the value of y (x+3) from one equation into the second equation (2x+5)

X+3 = 2x + 5

add -2x to both sides

-x+3=5

add -3 to both sides

-x=2

x=-2

substitute -2 for x in either equation to find y.

y=-2+3

y=1

Check your answer by substituting x and y into either equat to make sure it equals.

y=x+3

1=-2+3

1=1

or

y=2x+5

1=2(-2)+5

1=-4+5

1=1

answer: 20
