Question

-x+ 3y = 14
3x – 3y =-6
How would do in steps ?

Answer 1

for the first part:

Let's solve for x.

−x+3y=14

Step 1: Add -3y to both sides.

−x+3y+−3y=14+−3y

−x=−3y+14

Step 2: Divide both sides by -1.

−x/−1 = −3y+14/−1

x=3y−14

Answer:

x=3y−14

Second part:Let's solve for x.

3x−3y=−6

Step 1: Add 3y to both sides.

3x−3y+3y=−6+3y

3x=3y−6

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

3x/3= 3y−6/3x=y−2

Answer:

x=y−2
