Question

Please helppp 15 pointsss What is the y-coordinate of the solution for the system of equations?

Answer 1

y = 3x - 1

x - y = -9

Subs y in second equation.

x - (3x - 1) = -9

x - 3x + 1 = -9

-2x = -9 - 1

-2x = -10

x = -10/-2

x = 5

Subs x

y = 3x - 1

y = 3.5 - 1

y = 15 - 1

y = 14
