Solve this system of linear equations. Separate the x- and y-values with a comma.

17x = -60 - 3y
5x = -6 + 3y

(-3, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) Rewrite the second equation so 3y is on one side of the equation:

3y=6+5x

2.) Substitute the given value of 3y (replacing 3y with 6+5x, since we know they equal each other) into the equation 17x=-60-3y

Should end up with this:

17x=-60-(6+5x)

3.) Solve 17x=-60-(6+5x)

Calculate Difference: 17x=-66-5x

Combine Like Terms: 22x = -66

Divided both sides by 22 to isolate and solve for x: -3

So We know x=-3, now we got to find the y value. We can use either the first or second equation to find y value, so lets use the second.

3y=6+5x

1.) We know that x=-3, so we can simply substitute x in the equation

3y=6+5x with -3

3y=6+5(-3)

2.) Solve 3y=6+5(-3)

Combine Like Term: 3y=6+-15

Combine Like Term Even More: 3y= -9

Divide by 3 on both sides to isolate and solve for y: y=-3

So now we know y=-3 and once again we know x=-3, so if we format that

(-3,-3)
