Answer:
x = 2.66 repeating or 2[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
substitute y for x - 5
y = 2x + 3
x - 5 = 2x + 3
subtract 3 from both sides of the equation
x - 5 - 3 = 2x
x - 8 = 2x
subtract x from both sides of the equation
-8 = 2x - x
-8 = -3x
divide both sides of the equation by -3
-8/-3 = x
2.66 repeating = x
