You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1.) 3x+y=15
y=3
This equation you are just going to plug in the y=3 into the equation;
3x+3=15
subtract 3 from both sides;
3x+3-3=15-3
3x=12
Divide each side by 3; =
x=4
2.)3x-2y=12
-y+9=x
This equation your are first going to solve the second equation for y;
-y+9=x
y=-x+9
Now plug that into the other equation for y;
3x-2(-x+9)=12
3x+2x-18=12
Add like terms and add 18 to both sides;
5x=12+18
5x=30
Divide each side by 5; =
x=6
Now we know what x= so plug it into equation to find y;
3(6)-2y=12
18-2y=12
-2y=-6
y=3
