Answer explanation

The process here would be to substitute (-5x+11) into the equation in standard form. Solve for x, then use the value of x to find y by plugging it into the first equation.

Answer explanation

The x's share an opposite but equal coefficient so you can use elimination to get rid of the x and solve for y. Once you've solved for y you are able to use substitution to find x.
