Step 2.1

Subtract $2$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = - 5 - 2$

Step 2.2

Subtract $2$ from $- 5$ .

$y = - 7$

Step 3

Substitute $- 7$ for $y$ .

$x = - 5$

Step 4

The solution to the system is the complete set of ordered pairs that are valid solutions.

$(- 5, - 7)$

Step 5

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Point Form:

$(- 5, - 7)$

Equation Form:
