What is the x-value in the solution to this system of linear equations? 2x − y = 11

x + 3y = −5

−3
−1
2
4

(7, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the system of linear equations

2x − y = 11

x + 3y = −5

by elimination by addition and subtraction.  Multiply the second equation by -2, obtaining

2x - y = 11

-2x - 6y = 10

     -7y = 21, which yields y = -3

Knowing that y = -3, we can now find the value of x.  Let's use the first equation for this purpose.  Substituting -3 for y, we get:

2x - (-3) = 11, or

2x = 11 + 3, or 2x = 14.  Thus, x = 7.

The solution is (7, -3).
