Answer:

The y-coordinate is [tex]y=-\frac{8}{13}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are

[tex]5x=y+6\hfill (1)[/tex]

[tex]2x-3y=4\hfill (2)[/tex]

To solve the given equations by substitution method

From Equation (1) we can write [tex]x=\frac{y+6}{5}[/tex]

Substitute the value [tex]x=\frac{y+6}{5}[/tex] in equation (2) we get

[tex]2\times (\frac{y+6}{5})-3y=4[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{5}(y+6)-3y=4[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2y+12}{5}-3y=4[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2y+12-15y}{5}=4[/tex]

[tex]-13y+12=20[/tex]

[tex]-13y=20-12[/tex]

Therefore [tex]y=-\frac{8}{13}[/tex]

Substitute the value of [tex]y=-\frac{8}{13}[/tex] in equation (1) we get

[tex]5x=-\frac{8}{13}+6[/tex]

[tex]x=-\frac{8-78}{-65}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{70}{65}[/tex]

Therefore [tex]x=\frac{14}{13}[/tex]

Therefore the y-coordinate is [tex]y=-\frac{8}{13}[/tex]
