Question

What is the solution to
X=2-y
3x+3y=6

Answer 1

For X=2-y Look at the following steps.

Step 1. Subtract 2 from both sides


`x-2=-y`

Step 2. Multiply both sides by -1


`-x+2=y`

Step 3. Regroup Terms


`2-x=y`

Step 4. Switch sides


`y=2-x`

Done! :)


For 3x+3y=6 look at the following steps.

To solve for X look at the following steps.

Step 1. Factor out the common term 3


`3(x+y)=6`

Step 2. Divide both sides by 3


`x+y= (6)/(3)`

Step 3. Simplify
`(6)/(3)` to
`2`


`x+y=2`

Step 4. Subtract
`y` from both sides.


`x=2-y`

Done! now lets solve for y.

Step 1. Factor out the common term 3


`3(x+y)=6`

Step 2. Divide both sides by 3

x+y=
`(6)/(3)`

Step 3. Simplify
`(6)/(3)` to
`2`


`x+y=2`

Step 4. Subtract
`x` from both sides


`y=2-x`

Done!
