Question 77603
{{{2x+3y=6}}}
{{{x= -1}}}
.
Two variables are involved in this set of two equations ... x and y. But the problem 
already tells you that x is equal to -1.  With this information you can solve for y by
substitution.  Just substitute -1 for x in the top equation.  When you do the top equation
becomes:
.
{{{2*(-1) + 3*y = 6}}}
.
This simplifies to:
.
{{{-2 + 3*y = 6}}}
.
Eliminate the -2 on the left side by adding +2 to both sides to get:
.
{{{3*y = 8}}}
.
Solve for y by dividing both sides by 3. This results in:
.
{{{y = 8/3}}}
.
The decimal equivalent of this is:
.
{{{y = 2.66666 ...}}}
.
Hope this helps you to understand a way of solving the equation.
