Question: Solve the system by substitution.
y = -9x + 5
y = -10x
1. **State the problem:** Solve the system of equations by substitution:
$$y = -9x + 5$$
$$y = -10x$$
2. **Use substitution method:** Since both expressions equal $y$, set them equal to each other:
$$-9x + 5 = -10x$$
3. **Solve for $x$:**
Add $10x$ to both sides:
$$-9x + 10x + 5 = -10x + 10x$$
$$x + 5 = 0$$
Subtract $5$ from both sides:
$$x + \cancel{5} - \cancel{5} = 0 - 5$$
$$x = -5$$
4. **Find $y$ by substituting $x = -5$ into one of the original equations:**
Using $$y = -10x$$:
$$y = -10(-5) = 50$$
5. **Final solution:**
$$x = -5, \quad y = 50$$
This means the system's solution is the point $(-5, 50)$ where both lines intersect.
