Combining the equations, the solution to the system of equations is: x = 3, y = 10.
What is a system of equations?
A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.
In this problem, the equations are:
Combining(adding) them, we have that:
5x - 3y = -15.
From the second equation:
y = 3x + 1.
Replacing in the combined equation:
5x - 3(3x + 1) = -15.
-4x = -12
x = 3.
y = 3x + 1 = 3 x 3 + 1 = 10.
The solution is:
x = 3, y = 10.
