Answer is (2, 6) x=2, y = 6

Are you looking to solve this system of equations?

3x = y
y = 2x + 2

Substitute the value of y from equation 2 into y of equation 1 and solve

3x = 2x + 2
Subtract 2x from both sides to combine like terms

3x -2x = 2x - 2x + 2
Simplify

1x = 2

So x = 2

Substitute your x value of 2 into one of the equations to solve for y

3x = y

3(2) = y

6 = y
