How do solve the following linear system?: #5x - 3y = -29 , x - 3y = -6 #? Algebra Systems of Equations and Inequalities Systems Using Substitution 1 Answer Jennifer C. Dec 8, 2015 #(-2, 1/12)# Explanation: #x-3y=-6# #x=3y-6# plug in #x# for #5x-3y=-29# #5(3y-6)-3y=-29# #15y-30-3y=-29# #12y=1# #y=1/12# plug in #y# in #x=3y-6# to find #x# #x=3(1/12)-6# #x=4-6# #x=-2# #(-2, 1/12)# Answer link Related questions How do you solve systems of equations using the substitution method?
