Answer:

9 is the answer.

Explanation:

Given:

  • x + 2y = 15

We can tell that '3x + 6y' is basically '15 x 3' because the whole equation has been multiplied by three. Therefore, 3x + 6y must equal 45.

=> 3x + 6y = 45

But we need to divide 45 by 5 to get the solution because the 3x + 6y has also been divided by 5.

=> 45/5

=> 9

Therefore, 9 is the answer.
