.
Find the common solution.
.
Notice that the left sides of both these equations are equal (both of them are Y) so, the
right sides must be equal also. Set them equal:
.

.
You can avoid messing with fractions if you multiply both sides (all the terms) of this equation
by the common denominator 3. When you do the equation becomes:
.

.
Remove the X from the right side by subtracting X from both sides to get:
.

.
Eliminate +3 from the left side by subtracting +3 from both sides to get:
.

.
Solve for X by dividing both sides by -2 to get
.
Now that we know that X equals 6, we can solve for y by returning to either of the original
equations and substituting 6 for X.
.
For example, let's return to the second (or bottom) of these equations to get:
.
and by substituting 6 for X it becomes:
.

.
That's all there is to it. The common solution is X = 6 and Y = -1.
.
Hope that this helps you to understand the process of solving simultaneously for two linear
equations.
