Answer:

Add 3y to both sides of the equation.

x=−2+3y

x+3y=16

Replace all occurrences of x with −2+3y in each equation.

−2+6y=16

x=−2+3y

Solve for y in the first equation.

y=3

x=−2+3y

Replace all occurrences of y with 3 in each equation.

x=7, y=3

The solution to the system is the complete set of ordered pairs that are valid solutions. ( 7 , 3 )

The result can be shown in multiple forms. Point Form: ( 7, 3 )

Equation Form: x=7, y=3
