Q.

y=-3x+5

\newline

5x-4y=-3

Write Equations: Write down the given system of equations. $\newline$ We have two equations: $\newline$ $1$ ) $y = -3x + 5$ $\newline$ $2$ ) $5x - 4y = -3$
Substitute $y$ : Substitute the expression for $y$ from the first equation into the second equation. $\newline$ Since $y = -3x + 5$ , we can replace $y$ in the second equation with $-3x + 5$ . $\newline$ So, $5x - 4(-3x + 5) = -3$ becomes our new equation.
Distribute $-4$ : Distribute the $-4$ across the parentheses in the new equation. $5x - 4(-3x) + 4(5) = -3$ This simplifies to: $5x + 12x - 20 = -3$
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms on the left side of the equation. $\newline$ $5x + 12x = 17x$ $\newline$ So, $17x - 20 = -3$
Add $20$ : Add $20$ to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with $x$ . $\newline$ $17x - 20 + 20 = -3 + 20$ $\newline$ This simplifies to: $\newline$ $17x = 17$
Divide by $17$ : Divide both sides of the equation by $17$ to solve for $x$ . $\frac{17x}{17} = \frac{17}{17}$ This gives us: $x = 1$
Substitute $x$ : Substitute the value of $x$ back into the first equation to solve for $y$ . $\newline$ $y = -3(1) + 5$ $\newline$ This simplifies to: $\newline$ $y = -3 + 5$
Calculate $y$ : Calculate the value of $y$ . $y = 2$
