System of equations
nalin [4]

Answer:

The solution of the system of equations is the point (-3,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

-3x+y=9 -----> equation A

2x-y=-6 -----> equation B

Adds equation A and equation B

-3x+y=9\\2x-y=-6\\------\\-3x+2x=9-6\\-x=3\\x=-3

Find the value of y

-3(-3)+y=9

9+y=9

y=9-9=0

The solution of the system of equations is the point (-3,0)
