Solve each system by elimination
first you have to find the lowest common multiple and make sure that al variables x & y are on one side
1)first for 3x+3=y subtract 3x to get x &y variables on one side
-3x -3x
2)you should get -3x+y=3 find the lowest common multiple im going to choose
3x+2y=6 y the lowest common multiple or lcd is 2y right but
theres a trick you have to have a positive and
negative value
3)-3x+y=3 multiply by -2 to get a negative y value
3x+2y=6 and 1 because 2y is already positive so theyll cancel out
4)you should have -6x-2y=-6 the y variables cancel eath other out
3x+2y=6
5)when you get the x value value chose one of the original problems by plugging
in x value into either 3x+2y=6 or 3x+3=y to get y value
