    x-5=-2x+1

    3x=6

    x=2

    y=x-5=2-5=-3

    y=-3

    The solution is (2; - 3)

    I solved this one by substitution. When you are solving for two equations you can do this.

    y=x-5

    y=-2x+1

    substitute the y in one of the equations to find x

    x-5=-2x+1

    x=-2x+6

    3x=6

    x=2

    then you plug in that number to one of the equations

    y=2-5

    y=-3
