No ordered pairs shown....but...no prob

x+5y = −15

y =  1/5x+1

Rearrange the first as  x  = -15  - 5y

Sub this into the second for  x

y  =  (1/5)(-15 - 5y) + 1  simplify

y = -3 - y + 1    add y to both sides

2y  =  -3 + 1

2y = -2    divide both sids by 2

y  = -1

So

x  = -15 - 5(-1)  =  -15 + 5  =   -10

So   (x, y)  = ( -10, -1)

x+5y=-15, y=1/5x+1. First, rearrange, then we can multiply the second equation by 5, and let the first equation be.

x+5y=-15   x-5y=-5

Now, we can subtract! 5y--5y=-15--5, 10y=-10, so y=-1.

We can plug the value of y in the first equation, in order to solve for x.

x+5(-1)=-15, x+-5=-15, x-5=-15, x=-10.
