Answer: x = 7 y = -2

Explanation:

Assuming you meant x + 3y= 1 and -3x - 3y = -15.

Take the first eq and solve it to x= 1 - 3y. Then take that into the 2nd eq.

-3(1 - 3y) - 3y = -15

-3 + 9y -3y = -15

-3 + 6y = -15

6y = -12

y = -2

Take that into first eq

X + 3(-2) = 1

X + -6 = 1

X = 7

(7, -2) is the answer
