Use substitution to solve the following system of equations. What is the value of y?
3x + 2y = 12
5x - y = 7

Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+2y=12
5x-7=y
3x+2(5x-7)=12
3x+10x-14=12
13x=12+14
13x=26
x=2
3(2)+2y=12
6+2y=12
2y=12-6
y=6/2
y=3
Answer:
3x+2y=12
or,3x=12-2y
or,x=12-2y/3
5x-y=7
5×12-2y-y/3=7
60-y/3=7
60-y=7×3
60=21+y
60-21=y
y=39
