    (0,3) One solution

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step: Solve x+5y=15for x:

    x+5y=15

    x+5y+-5y=15+-5y (Add - 5y to both sides)

    x=-5y+15

    Step: Substitute - 5y+15for x in 7x+2y=6:

    7x+2y=6

    7 (-5y+15) + 2y=6

    -33y+105=6 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

    -33y+105+-105=6+-105 (Add - 105 to both sides)

    -33y=-99

    -33y

    -33

    =

    -99

    -33

    (Divide both sides by - 33)

    y=3

    Step: Substitute 3 for y in x=-5y+15:

    x=-5y+15

    x = (-5) (3) + 15

    x=0 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

    Therefore (0,3) which is one solution
