Question

Solve the system of equations.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is supposed to be (2,-3), but for some reason I don't see it as one of the choices.

(Please don't get mad or report this answer, the work is below, so you may see for yourself.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since y equals both -6x + 9 and -3x + 3, we will simply write them into one equation:

-6x + 9 = -3x + 3

Next we will solve for x by isolating it:

So, first subtract 3 on both sides to get -6x + 6 = -3x. Next add 6x on both sides to get 6 = 3x. Then finally divide by 3 on both sides to get 2 = x or you can flip it to be x = 2.

Now that we know what x is, we can plug it back into one of the original equations. In this case we'll plug it into y = -3x + 3:

y = -3(2) + 3

-3 × 2 = -6 and -6 + 3 = -3

So: y = -3

Now we can plug each into an ordered pair (x,y), and your answer is (2,-3).

As always, don't forget to check your work (It's correct btw, I already checked) and I hope this helps you :)

Answer 2

Answer:

x=2, y=-3. (2, -3).

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-6x+9

y=-3x+3

-----------

-6x+9=-3x+3

-6x-(-3x)+9=3

-6x+3x=3-9

-3x=-6

3x=6

x=6/3

x=2

y=-6(2)+9

y=-12+9=-3
