The given system of equation:

y = 3x - 5 (1)

y = -6x + 4 (2)

We can solve the system of equation by using elimination method :

Elimination Method: In the elimination method you either add or subtract the equations to get an equation in one variable. When the coefficients of one variable are opposites you add the equations to eliminate a variable and when the coefficients of one variable are equal you subtract the equations to eliminate a variable.

Subtract the equation (1) & (2)


\begin{gathered} y-y=3x-5-(-6x+4) \\ 0=3x-5+6x-4 \\ 0=9x-9 \\ 9x=9 \\ x=(9)/(9) \\ x=1 \end{gathered}

So, we get x = 1

Substitute the value of x in the equation (1)


\begin{gathered} y=3x-5 \\ y=3(1)-5 \\ y=3-5 \\ y=(-2) \end{gathered}

y = (-2)

So, the solution of the system of equations are : (x,y) = (1,-2)

Answer: (x,y) = (1,-2)
