Hello!

You can put in y for the first equation

2x - 3(x - 1) = -1

Distribute the -3

2x - 3x + 3 = -1

Combine like terms

-x + 3 = -1

Subtract 3 from both sides

-x = -4

Since x is negative we can multiply both sides by -1 to make x positive

x = 4

We can put x into the second equation to get y

y = 4 - 1

y = 3

The answers are x = 4 and y = 3

Hope this helps!

Substitute y=x-1 into 2x-3y=-1

2x-3y=-1
2x-3(x-1)=-1
2x - 3x + 3 = -1
-x = -4
x = 4

substitute x = 4 into y=x-1
y=x-1 = 4 - 1 = 3

answer
x = 4 and y = 3

Basically when reading the value of a digit we start from the right.
Digits from the right to the left are named as follows:
units......>no zeros/digits after them
tens......> 1 zero/digit after the digit
hundreds.......> 2 zeros/digits after the digit
thousands......> 3 zeros/digits after the digit
ten thousands.......> 4 zeros/digits after the digit
hundred thousands.........> 5 zeros/digits after the digit
million........> 6 zeros/digits after the digit

Applying this on the above mentioned numbers, we will find that the 3 represents the hundreds (300) in 6300 while it represent the tens (30) in 530.

The question is to find the difference between the two, which means we will subtract them:
difference = 300 - 30 = 270

The value 3 in 6300 is 270 times the value of 3 in 530
