Y=3x-2
Y=2x-5
Find X and Y using substitution


Sagot :

[tex]y = 3x -2~~~.....(i)\\\\y = 2x-5~~~.....(ii)\\\\\text{Substitute equation (i) in equation (ii):}\\\\3x-2 = 2x -5\\\\\implies 3x -2x = -5+2\\\\\implies x = -3\\\\\text{Substitute}~ x =-3,~ \text{in equation (i):}\\\\y = 3(-3) -2 = -9 -2 = -11\\\\\text{Hence,}~ (x,y) = (-3,-11)[/tex]
