Question

2x + y =6 y = x-3 Solve for x and y

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 3, y=0

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y =6

y = x-3

Substitute the second equation into the first

2x +x-3 =6

Combine like terms

3x-3 =6

Add 3 to each side

3x-3+3 = 6+3

3x= 9

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 9/3

x =3

Now we need to find y

y = x-3

y = 3-3=0

y=0
