X + 5y = 28 2x + 3y = 21 Solve for x and y.

First what we gonna do is solve for y.

x+5y=28 Subtract 5y both sides.

-5y - 5y

x=-5y+28 Then you have to replace x with the equation.

2 (-5y+28) + 3y=21 Multiply.

-10y+56+3y=21 Combine like terms and subtract 56 both sides.

-56 - 56

-7y=-35 Divide - 7 both sides.

y=5 Simplify.

x=-5 (5) + 28 Multiply and add.

x=-25+28

x=3

Heres your answer x=3 and y=5.
