Answer:

X = 0

Y = 3

Explanation:

To solve using substitution, you would solve one equation and substitute it into the other to get that x or y value, then you would use that found value on any original equation.

x+y=3 2x+2y=6

Using the first equation, if we subtract x

y = -x+3

Lets put this into the second equation

2x + 2y = 6

2x + 2(-x+3) = 6

2x + 2x + 6 = 6

4x = 0

x = 0

Now that we have X, we can plug it into any original equation. let's do the first cause it's easier

x+y=3

0+y=3

y=3

We can use the other too

2x+2y=6

2(0)+2y=6

0+2y=6

y=3
