Answer:

x = 3 1/3, x = -1.

Explanation:

3x + y = 9

3x - 5y = 15

Subtract second equation from the first to eliminate the 3x :

3x - 3x + y - (-5y) = 9 - 15

6y = -6

y = -1.

Plug y = -1 in first equation:

3x + -1 = 9

3x = 10

x = 10/3 = 3 1/3.

Answer:

(10/3, -1)

Explanation:

So there are two different ways.

First you could address for y and fitting it into the number cruncher. one condition for y1 and another for y2. At that point go second follow and press 5 and afterward press enter multiple times to discover the convergence.

the subsequent path is to tackle by hand. I would recommend address the primary condition for y and attachment the condition tackled for y into the other condition. so y = - 3x + 9 and 3x-5y=15. At that point you could do 3x - 5(- 3x+9) = 15. At long last address for x and plug in x into the two conditions to check whether you get a similar y esteem.

The appropriate response ought to be (10/3, - 1)
