y = 15 ;

_________
We know that:

3x + 18 = 15 ; Now, subtract 18 from Each Side of the equation:

3x + 18 − 18 = 15 − 18 ;

to get:

3x = 3 ; Now, divide Each Side of the equation by 3 ;

to isolate x on one side of the equation;

and to solve for x :

3x / 3 = 3 / 3 ;

to get: x = 1

_________

The answer is: " x = 1 " ;

The answer for this 'system of equations' is:
" [1, 15] " <== { written as: " [x, y] "} ;
