Question

Y=x+3
2x+y=-6
Find the solution :

Answer 1

Your solution is (-3,0)

Explanation:

Hi,

We know what Y is, so we can plug it into the second equation.

2x + y = -6

2x + (x + 3) = -6

Now, add the like terms...

3x + 3 = -6

3x = -9

x = -3

Now, plug x back in to find y.

y = x + 3

y = (-3) + 3

y = 0

Your solution is (-3,0)

Hope this helps :)
