Answer:
(- 1, 9 )
Step-by-step explanation:
One of the equations gives y = 9, the y- value
To find the value of x, substitute y = - 3x + 6 , that is
- 3x + 6 = 9 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
- 3x = 3 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = - 1
Solution is (- 1, 9 )
positive
From the number line
x>0 so it is positive
y <0 so it is negative
xy = positive * negative
= negative
-xy = negative * negative
= positive
