Solve this system of equations using
the substitution method.
y = 3x + 9
y = 5x – 3
i need the answer for x and y

First, when solving for x, you would need to make one of the equation into standard form, which would be Ax + By = C. So, I'm going to use y = 5x -3.

y = 5x - 3  || subtract -5x on both sides from the equal sign

5x + y = -3  || there you have one equation in standard form

Now, all you have to do now is substitute the y-intercept form equation into the standard form equation. As you can see, you would substitute the y-intercept form into the y in the standard form equation.

5x + y = -3

5x + 3x + 9 = -3  || combine like terms

8x + 9 = -3  || subtract 9 on both sides from the equal sign

8x = 6  || divide by 8 on both sides from the equal sign

x = 0.75  || final answer for x

Then for solving y, take any equation in y-intercept form and substitute with the x in the equation, which I'm going to use y = 3x + 9 in this case.

y = 3x + 9  || substitute with x

y = 3 (0.75) + 9  || multiply 3 and 0.75

y = 3.75 + 9  || add 3.75 and 9

y = 12.75  || final answer for y

Thus, x = 0.75 and y = 12.75.
