Answer:
Explanation:
Given the system of equations:
2x + 3y = 15
X + 3y = 0
What is x?
2x + 3y = 15
X + 3y = 0 subtract the bottom equation fron the top one
2x - x + 3y - 3y = 15 - 0 see how the 3y - 3y equates to zero
2x - x = 15
x = 15 Now for extra credit what is y?
X + 3y = 0
15 + 3y = 0
15 - 15 + 3y = 0 - 15
3y = -15
3y/3 = -15/3
y = -5
-15
