Answer :

Answer: x= -1 y= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to solve this using substitution.

Here is the work...

5x+3(4)=7

That is what it woud look like because y is equal to 4.

3 times 4 is 12.

So now we have...

5x+12=7

Now we want to get All the common factors together...

To do this we will subtract 12 from 7 and we get -5.

Here is our equation now...

5x=-5

Now we divide x by 5 to get x alone, but we also divide -5 by 5.

x=-1

Now all we have to do to solve for y is put x in an equation.

In this case here is what we will do...

5(-1)+3y=7

Multiply...

-5+3y=7

Now we need to get the common factors together so lets add 5 to 7.

3y=12

3y/3=y

12/3=y

y=4

But that is already in your problem...OOF.Dont worry its still correct.
