−3

Answer 1

(1,3)

(4,-3)

Explanation:

To find y, replace x with 1 in the equation and solve for y

6x + 3y = 15

6(1) + 3y = 15

6 + 3y = 15 Subtract 6 from both sides

3y = 9 Divide both sides by 3

y = 3

(1,3)

To find x, replace y with -3 in the equation and solve for x

6x + 3y = 15

6x + 3(-3) = 15

6x - 9 = 15 Add 9 to both sides

6x = 24 Divide both sides by 6

x = 4

(4, -3)
