2x + 5y = 19

Y = x + 1

Show your work.

x = 2 and y = 3

Explanation:

2x + 5y = 19

y = x + 1

first step: isolate a variable; its already done so here since y is isolated.

now all you have to do is plug it in.

2x + 5 (x+1) = 19

now, use distributive property to expand your equation.

2x+5x +5 = 19

now solve for x.

7x + 5 = 19

7x= 19 -5

7x = 14

x = 2

now plug in the x value into an equation.

y = 2 + 1

y =3.

Now you have your two values: x = 2 and y = 3
