yk=-5+5
Consider the second equation. Multiply both sides of the equation by k.
yk=0
Add -5 and 5 to get 0.
y-2x=-2
Consider the first equation. Subtract 2x from both sides.
ky=0,y-2x=-2
To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.
ky=0
Pick one of the two equations which is more simple to solve for y by isolating y on the left hand side of the equal sign.
y=0
Divide both sides by k.
-2x=-2
Substitute 0 for y in the other equation, y-2x=-2.
x=1
Divide both sides by -2.
y=0,x=1
The system is now solved.
