Q:

Can someone please help me solve each system of linear equations by substitution.5.)2x - 3y = -24x + 6y = 186.)x - 2y = 53x - 5y = 8I do not understand this and I need help with it so please try and showing the steps you did to find the answer if you get one. Thank you for your help!

A:
I'm not good at explaining things but I do know how to do the problem5. 2x-3y=-24 x+6y=18 -> -2(x+6y=18) = -2x-12y=-36 distribute -2 ^ 2x-3y=-24 x+6(-4)=18-2x-12y=-36 x -24 = 18 0-15y= -60 +24 = +24 -15 = -15 x= 42 y = 4 (42,4)6. x-2y=5 3x-5y=8x-2y= 5 -> -3(x-2y=5) -3x+6y= -15 3x-5y=8 x-2y=5 0+ 1y= 7 x-2(7)=5 1 = 1 x-14=5 y = 7 +14= +14 x = 19 (19,7
