x=6 y=-4


Step: Solve

3
x

9
y
=
18
for x:

3
x

9
y
=
18

3
x

9
y
+
9
y
=
18
+
9
y
(Add 9y to both sides)

3
x
=
9
y
+
18

3
x

3
=
9
y
+
18

3
(Divide both sides by -3)
x
=

3
y

6

Step: Substitute

3
y

6
for
x
in
4
x
+
3
y
=
12
:
4
x
+
3
y
=
12

(

3
y

6
)
+
3
y
=
12

9
y

24
=
12
(Simplify both sides of the equation)

9
y

24
+
24
=
12
+
24
(Add 24 to both sides)

9
y
=
36

9
y

9
=
36

9
(Divide both sides by -9)
y
=

4

Step: Substitute

4
for

in
x
=

3

6
:
x
=

3
y

6
x
=
(

3
)
(

4
)

6
x
=
6
(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:
