1b+1p=9 Multiply both sides times -3 and add to next equation:
4b+3p=33
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-3b-3p =-27
+
4b+3p = 33
1b = 6
b = 6
Now we can find p:
1(6)+1p = 9
6+1p = 9
1p = 3
p = 3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Check:
1(6)+1(3) = 9
6+3 = 9 Correct
Next equation:
4(6)+3(3) = 33
24+9 = 33 Correct
We have the correct answer.
