3x+y=5 , −9x−3y=23
Step 1
Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation.
y=5−3x
−9x−3y=23
Step 2
Step 2.1
Replace all occurrences of y in −9x−3y=23 with 5−3x.
−9x−3(5−3x)=23
y=5−3x
Step 2.2
Simplify the left side.
Step 2.2.1
Simplify −9x−3(5−3x).
Step 2.2.1.1
Simplify each term.
Step 2.2.1.1.1
Apply the distributive property.
−9x−3⋅5−3(−3x)=23
y=5−3x
Step 2.2.1.1.2
Multiply −3 by 5.
−9x−15−3(−3x)=23
y=5−3x
Step 2.2.1.1.3
Multiply −3 by −3.
−9x−15+9x=23
y=5−3x
−9x−15+9x=23
y=5−3x
Step 2.2.1.2
Combine the opposite terms in −9x−15+9x.
Step 2.2.1.2.1
Add −9x and 9x.
0−15=23
y=5−3x
Step 2.2.1.2.2
Subtract 15 from 0.
−15=23
y=5−3x
−15=23
y=5−3x
−15=23
y=5−3x
−15=23
y=5−3x
−15=23
y=5−3x
Step 3
Since −15=23 is not true, there is no solution.
