Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

2x - y = 11

x + 3y = -5

Step 2: Rewrite Systems

2x - y = 11

[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2x on both sides:                      -y = 11 - 2x[Division Property of Equality] Divide -1 on both sides:                                  y = 2x - 11

Step 3: Redefine Systems

y = 2x - 11

x + 3y = -5

Step 2: Solve for x

Substitution

Substitute in y [2nd Equation]:                                                                        x + 3(2x - 11) = -5[Distributive Property] Distribute 3:                                                                 x + 6x - 33 = -5Combine like terms:                                                                                         7x - 33 = -5[Addition Property of Equality] Add 33 on both sides:                                  7x = 28[Division Property of Equality] Divide 7 on both sides:                                  x = 4

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - y = 11

x + 3y = -5

To calculate the value of x , firstly we need to find value of y.

solve for y

2x - y = 11

subtract 2x from both side

2x - 2x - y = 11 - 2x-y = 11 - 2x

change the sign of both side of equation

y = -11 + 2x

rewrite

y = 2x - 11

Solve for x

y = 2x - 11x + 3y = -5

substitute the value of y in the equation

x + 3( 2x - 11 ) = -5

distribute 3

x + 3 × 2x - 3× 11 = -5x + 6x - 33 = -5

combine like terms

7x - 33 = -5

Add 33 on both side

7x - 33 + 33 = -5 + 337x = 28

divide both side by 7

7x / 7 = 28 / 7x = 4
