x + y = 3
x =6 - 4y
Solution
Use the top equation to substitute for x in the second equation.
x = 3 - y
Put this result into the second given equation and solve for y
3 - y = 6 - 4y Add 4y to both sides.
3 - y + 4y = 6 Combine on the left
3 + 3y = 6 Subtract 3 from both sides
3 - 3 + 3y = 6 - 3 Combine
3y = 3 Divide by 3
3y/3 = 3/3 Combine
y = 1
=========================
x + y = 3 but y = 1
x + 1 = 3 Subtract 1 from both sides.
x + 1 - 1 =3 - 1
x = 2
Answer

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(3x - 5 = -x + 3) x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 5 = -x + 3
3x = -x + (3 +5)
3x=-x + 8
(3x + x ) = 8
4x = 8
4/8 =2
x = 2
