Question

solving a system of equations
find the solution to this system
equation 1: (5x - 2y=-11) (2)
equation 2: (-2x + 5y = 17) (5)
multiplying equation 2 by 5 will create
additive inverses for the (x)-coefficients.
step 2: which is the next step to solve for (y)?
divide by 21 on both sides of the equation
step 3: which is the next step to solve the system of
equations for (x)?
substitute 3 for (y) in one of the equations
step 4: which operation will isolate the (x)-variable term?
both sides of the equation

Explanation:

Step1: Review current equation state

After substituting $y=3$, we have $5x - 6 = -11$.

Step2: Isolate x-term via inverse op

To isolate $5x$, add 6 to both sides:
$5x - 6 + 6 = -11 + 6$

Step3: Simplify to solve for x

$5x = -5$
$\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{-5}{5}$
$x = -1$

Answer:

Add 6 to
