Answer:

x=1

y=6

Explanation:

We are going to name the equations like this:

3x+y=9 (1)

y-2x=4 (2)

From the equation (1), we know that:

y=9-3x

And, we replace the value of y in the equation (2) and we obtain:

(9-3x)-2x=4

9-5x=4

-5x=4-9

-5x=-5

x=1

And, in the same way, we replace the value of x in the equation (1) and we obtain:

y=9-3(1)

y=9-3

y=6
