Not sure if you would've preferred a step-by-step solution. Sorry! Hope you find this helpful, good luck!
Since y=x+3 (given)
Put value of y in equation x+y=(-3)
x+x+3=(-3)
2x=(-6)
x=(-3)
Put x=(-3) in x+y=(-3)
(-3)+y=(-3)
y=0
So, x=(-3)
y=0
It is equal because every 2000 pounds is 1 ton and 18000lb divided by 2000 equals 9.
Y+1 = -2x+2 (distribute)
Y=-2x + 1 (isolate y)
