\huge \colorbox{yellow}{Question}


x = y - 3


2x + y = 12


\huge \colorbox{yellow}{Answer}


x = y - 3 \: (equation \: 1)


2x + y = 12 \: (equation \: 2)

Substituting the value of x in

( equation 2)


2x + y = 12


2(y - 3) + y = 12


2y - 6 + y = 12


2y + y = 12 + 6


3y = 18


y = 18 / 3


y = 6

Now we get y = 6

Substituting the value of y in

( equation 1 )


x = y - 3


x = 6 - 3


x = 3

Now we get x = 3


\huge \mathsf\red{Final \: Answer}

y = 6

x = 3
