\

The equations are $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ Equation (1)

\

$\"\"$ Equation (2)

\

Since $\"\"$ , substitute 5x for y in the second equation.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Add: 2x + 15x = 17x) $\"\"$

\

Apply division property of equality: If a = b then $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by 17)

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

$\"\"$ (Divide: $\"\"$ )

\

Substitute $\"\"$ in first equation.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

The solution is $\"\"$ .
