-3x = 3 + y 3 + y - 5y = -21 -4y = -24 y = 6 x = -3
2x-y=3 2/3x-y=-1
The easiest way to solve this system of equations is to solve for a variable in one of the equations. In the second equation, y = 3x. This can be substituted into the first equation: y = -4x - 7; 3x = = -4x - 7; 7x = -7; x = -1. Since we have determined that x equals -1, we can then substitute -1 into either equation to find our corresponding y-value. Thus: y = 3x; y = 3(-1) y = -3. Thus, the solution to this system of equations is (-1, -3).
3x-y=9 y=3x-9
3x + 2y = 12 ie 2y = 12 - 3x so y = 6 - 3x/2
