The problem isn't explaining it enough for me to understand here's the question
Solve the following system of equations by any method you wish

x + y = 6
y = 2x – 3 or -2x+y=-3

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE linear system by SUBSTITUTION
Solve:
+system%28+%0D%0A++++1%5Cx+%2B+1%5Cy+=+6%2C%0D%0A++++-2%5Cx+%2B+1%5Cy+=+-3+%29%0D%0A++We'll use substitution. After moving 1*y to the right, we get:
1%2Ax+=+6+-+1%2Ay, or x+=+6%2F1+-+1%2Ay%2F1. Substitute that
into another equation:
-2%2A%286%2F1+-+1%2Ay%2F1%29+%2B+1%5Cy+=+-3 and simplify: So, we know that y=3. Since x+=+6%2F1+-+1%2Ay%2F1, x=3.

Answer: system%28+x=3%2C+y=3+%29.



I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
