What is the x value in the SOE?

X - 5y = 0

2x - 3y = 7

I will solve your system by substitution. x - 5y = 0; 2x - 3y = 7 Solve x - 5y = 0 for x: x - 5y + 5y = 0 + 5y (Add 5y to both sides) x = 5y Substitute 5y for x in 2x - 3y = 7 : 2x - 3y = 7 2 5y - 3y = 7 7y = 7 (Simplify both sides of the equation) 7y 7 = 77 (Divide both sides by 7) y=1 Step: Substitute 1 for y in x = 5y : x = 5y x = (5) (1) x=5 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

Your Answer: 5 is the value of X and Y is the value of 1
