Solve the system by substitution.
minus, 8, x, minus, 7, y, equals, minus, 5
−8x−7y=
−5
minus, x, equals, y
−x=
y
Substituting the second equation into the first equation, we get:
-8(-x) - 7x = -5
8x - 7x = -5
x = -5
Substituting x = -5 into the second equation, we get:
-(-5) = y
y = 5
Therefore, the solution to the system is x = -5 and y = 5.
