I think you mean 'solve this system of equations':
Eq. 1:
Eq. 2:
Put each equation in standard form
Eq. 1:
Eq. 2:
Multiply Eq. 2 by 3:
Now add term by term to Eq. 1:
Substitute into either original equation: .
The solution set is )
This should have been what you expected because you can see by inspection that the y-intercept for both equations is the point and that since the lines have different slopes, this must be a consistent system.

Please help me solve this equation:
y=3x
x=3y
If you sub for y:
x = 3*3x
1 = 9
There's no solution possible other than x and y are zero.
x = 3*3x
x = 9x
8x = 0
x = 0
y = 0
If you graph these, you get 2 straight lines that intersect at the origin (0,0).
