The equations are $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ Equation (1)

\

$\"\"$ Equation (2)

\

Solve the first equation for x.

\

Subtract 2y from each side.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

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

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

Subtract 5 from each side.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

Divide each side by 3.
