hi <3

you can solve this by substituting one equation into the other.

in this case, it is more simple to substitute the first equation into the second, as it is already arranged into a simple format

so:

y + 2y = 6

now you can simplify:

3y = 6

divide both sides by 3 to get your answer:

y = 2

hope this helps <33
