Solution:

Consider the following linear system of equations:

Equation 1:


y\text{ = 6x -1 }

Equation 2:


3x\text{ + 2y = 43}

From equation 1, we can replace y= 6x-1 into equation 2 to obtain:


3x+2(6x-1)\text{ = 43}

this is equivalent to:


3x\text{ + 12x - 2 = 43}

putting together similar terms, we get:


3x\text{ + 12x = 43 +2}

this is equivalent to:


15x\text{ = 45}

solving for x, we get:


x\text{ = }(45)/(15)=\text{ 3}

replacing this value (x=3) into equation 1, we can get the value of y:


y\text{ = 6(3)-1 = 18-1 = 17}

then, we can conclude that the solution of this system of equations is:


(x,y)\text{ = (3,17)}
