Answer:
x = -3
y = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
2y = x - 13
3x = y - 1; let y = 3x + 1
substitute to solve for 'x':
2(3x + 1) = x - 13
6x + 2 = x - 13
5x + 2 = -13
5x = -15
x = -3
solve for 'y':
3(-3) = y - 1
-9 = y - 1
-8 = y
Answer:
(-3,-8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Get one of the variables by themself.
3x = y-1
y = 3x+1
Plug that equation into the other one
2(3x+1) = x-13
Distribute the 2 to 3x+1
6x+2 = x-13
Combine like terms
6x+2 = x-13
-x -x
5x+2 = x-13
-2 -2
5x = -15
Divide by 5 on both sides
5x = -15
÷5 ÷5
x = -3
Find y
3(-3) = y-1
-9 = y-1
+1 +1
y = -8
