Answer 1

Hope it helps :)

`x + 4y = 9 \\ </p><p>-x - 2y = 3 \\ eliminate \: one \: variable \: by \\ adding \: the \: equations \\ 2y = 12 \\ divide \: both \: sides \\ y = 6 \\ substitute \: the \: value \: of \: y \\ \: into \: equation \: ...2 \\ - x - 2(6) = 3 \\ solve \: the \: equation \\ - x - 12 = 3 \\ - x = 3 + 12 \\ - x = 15 \\ x = - 15 \\ SOLUTION \\ x = - 15 \\ y = 6 \\ Hope \: it \: helps :)`
