Start with the given system





Plug in into the first equation. In other words, replace each with . Notice we've eliminated the variables. So we now have a simple equation with one unknown.


Multiply


Combine like terms on the left side


Divide both sides by 6 to isolate x



Divide




Now that we know that , we can plug this into to find



Substitute for each


Simplify


So our answer is and which also looks like



Notice if we graph the two equations, we can see that their intersection is at . So this verifies our answer.
