This was our original system and 2x-3y=-11 and 2x+y=9 We solved the second equation for y to get the system 2x-3y=-11, y=9-2x We plug the second equation into the first and solve to get x=2. Now, plug x=2 into any equation to solve for y. y= (a)

Use the system of equations below to answer the question. After substituting the first equation into the second one and working it out, I got x = 1. What should I do next? y = 6x 2x + 5y = 32

• Fill in 1 for x in y = 6x

• Fill in 1 for y in y = 6x

• Fill in 1 for y in 2x + 5y = 32
