Question

What is 3x-y=9 2x-y=7

Answer 1

The answer is x: 2 y: -3 and i got it from photomath

Answer 2

Answer:

x=2 and y= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simultaneous equation. To solve this type of equation, there are three methods; substitution, Elimination and Graphical.

But here, we would be using the substitution method.

3x-y=9 Equation 1

2x-y=7. Equation 2

Getting y from equation 2, we have

-y= 7-2x

Multiply both sides by -

y= 2x-7 Equation 3

Substituting y for 2x-7 in equation 1, we have

3x- (2x-7)=9

3x-2x+7=9

x+7=9

x=9-7

x=2

Substituting x as 2 in equation 3

y=2x-7

y= 2(2)-7

y= 4-7

y= -3
