Answer:

x=1  y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

−5x+2y=9

y=7x

Substitute the second equation into the first

-5x +2(7x) = 9

Distribute

-5x +14x = 9

Combine like terms

9x=9

Divide by 9

9x/9 =9/9

x= 1

Now find y

y = 7(1)

y = 7

Answer:

[tex]x=1\\y=7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]-5x+2y=9\\y=7x[/tex]

Replace y in the first equation.

[tex]-5x+2(7x)=9[/tex]

Distribute the 2 and combine like terms;

[tex]-5x+14x=9\\9x=9[/tex]

Divide by 9

[tex]x=\frac{9}{9}\\ x=1[/tex]

-----------------------------------------------

After having found x, you can replace it in any of the equations to find y. I'll use the second equation.

[tex]y=7x\\y=7(1)\\y=7[/tex]
