Use substitution and substitute y into the other equation. One of the equations already gives you y in terms of x, so use that and substitute it into the other equation. y = 3x - 4
Plug into the other equation: -3y = -9x + 12
-3(3x-4) = -9x + 12
-9x + 12 = -9x + 12
This is an identity. So that means that any value of x makes this equation true. So B.

Answer:
a. 
b. x = 4 (see steps below)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the two polygons are similar, the sides are proportional to each other. Using a proportion, you can solve for 'x' using cross-multiplication and division:

Cross-multiply: 15(x + 3) = 21(x + 1)
Distribute: 15x + 45 = 21x + 21
Subtract '15x' from both sides: 15x + 45 - 15x = 21x + 21 - 15x or 45 = 6x + 21
Subtract '21' from both sides: 45 - 21 = 6x + 21 - 21 or 24 = 6x
Divide by 6 on both sides: 24/6 = 6x/6
Solve for x: x = 4
