Answer:
x = 2
y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
make them equal to each other
x-5 = -7x + 11
8x = 16
put 2 back in the equation to get y
y = 2 - 5
Solve using substitution.
Substitute x-5 for y:
x - 5 = -7x + 11
Add 7x to both sides
8x - 5 = 11
Add 5 to both sides
Divide both sides by 8
x=2
Plug 2 back in for x to solve for y:
y = x - 5 = 2 - 5 = -3
(x, y)=(2, -3)
