Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations.
x+6y=33
-x+3y=3
----
x = 3y-3
---
Substitute for "x" and solve for "y"::
3y-3 + 6y = 33
9y = 36
y = 4
-----
Solve for "x"::
x = 3y-3
x = 3*4-3
x = 9

Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations.
x+6y=33
-x+3y=3

x + 6y = 33 ------ eq (i)
- x + 3y = 3 ------ eq (ii)
9y = 36 ------ Add eqs (ii) & (i) to ELIMINATE x
y = , or
You should be able to find x!!
