<span>3y = x + 6
y – x = 3 -----------> x=y - 3 (substitute in 1st equation)
3y = y - 3 +6
3y - y = 3
2y = 3
y = 2/3
x= y - 3 = 2/3 -3 = 2/3 - 9/3 = - 7/3
</span>x= - 7/3, y = 2/3<span>

Answer:
complementary
x = 55
Step-by-step explanation:
6 math books would be 126
5 English books would be 150
126+150=276
12=5x-13x-44
combine like terms
12 = -8x -44
add 44 to each side
12+44 = -8x
56= -8x
divide by -8 on each side
56/-8 = x
-7 =x
