3x + y = 9

y = –4x + 10

First we will substitute y= -4x+10 in the first equation in place of 'y'

3x + (-4x+10)= 9

⇒3x -4x +10 = 9

⇒ -1x +10 =9

⇒ -1x = -1

⇒ x = -1/-1 = 1

x= 1

Now, for finding the value of y , we will plug x=1 into the second equation.

y= -4x +10

y= -4(1) +10

y= -4 +10

y= 6

So, the value of y is 6 .
