Since one equation has a negative y and the other has a positive y, I'm going to use those since they cancel each other out. Before that, the two y's need to be equal to each other.
x+2y=6
x-y=3
Multiply the bottom equation by two so then you have:
x+2y=6
2x-2y=6
The y's now cancel out:
x=6
2x=6
Add them together
3x=12
Divide
x=4.
To find y, plug x into either equation (*don't have to do both, but I will)
(4)+2y=6
(4)-y=3
Subtract four
2y=2
-y=-1
Divide each
2y/2 = 2/2
y=1
-y/-1 = -1/-1
y=1
The answer is:
x=4
y=1
I hope that helps!

Let number of plastic containers collected by fourth grade= x
Then number of plastic containers collected by fifth grade students=x-216
OR
If number of plastic container collected by fifth grade is y
then number of plastic container collected by fourth grade=y+216
So, we can write it as follows
⇒ number of plastic containers collected by fourth grade= number of plastic containers collected by fifth grade +216
Answer:
y - 5 = -3(x + 2)
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Algebra I</u>
Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
- x₁ - x coordinate
- y₁ - y coordinate
- m - slope
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
Slope <em>m</em> = -3
Point (-2, 5)
<u>Step 2: Write function</u>
- Substitute: y - 5 = -3(x + 2)
