Hi there!

We can use substitution to solve this equation.

3x + y = 18
y = 3x

Substitute y from second equation to first one.

3x + 3x = 18
6x = 18
x = 3

Now substitute x = 3 to any of the equation to find y.

3x + y = 18
3(3) + y = 18
9 + y = 18
y = 9


So your solution is ( 3 , 9 ).
Hope this helped! :)

3 x 3= 9
9+9=18
X=3
That is the answer
