Answer:

If you're supposed to use elimination to find (x, y) the answer is (6, 1)

Explanation:

Add:

2x+3y=15

x-3y= 3

y cancels out and left with...

2x=15

x=3

that becomes

3x=18

find x

18/3= 6

x=6

Then plug in x (which is 6) to one of the equations to solve for y

6- 3y= 3

-3y= 3-6

-3y= -3

y= 1

(x, y) equals (6, 1)
