Answer 1

Answer:

x = -2

y = -1

(-2, -1)

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
• Equality Properties

Algebra I

• Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
• Solving systems of equations by graphing

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define systems

y = x + 1

3x + 3y = -9

Step 2: Solve for x

Substitution

1. Substitute in y:                              3x + 3(x + 1) = -9
2. Distribute 3:                                   3x + 3x + 3 = -9
3. Combine like terms:                     6x + 3 = -9
4. Isolate x term:                               6x = -12
5. Isolate x:                                        x = -2

Step 3: Solve for y

1. Define original equation:                    y = x + 1
2. Substitute in x:                                     y = -2 + 1
3. Add:                                                      y = -1
