Question 27654: solve by using the best method for each system.
3x-3y=18 and
x+y=3 Answer by askmemath(368) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3x-3y=18
x+y=3
Multiplying the 2nd equation with 3
3x+3y = 9
Now, adding both
6x = 27
X = 4.5
Putting this value back into any equation we get Y = -1.5
Solve: We'll use substitution. After moving -3*y to the right, we get: , or . Substitute that
into another equation: and simplify: So, we know that y=-1.5. Since , x=4.5.
