Question

2x+3y=15
X+y=6
Simultaneously equations

Answer 1

x = 3, y = 3

Explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + 3y = 15 → (1)

x + y = 6 → (2)

Multiplying 2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate x

- 2x - 2y = - 6 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x

y = 3

Substitute y = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

2x + 3(3) = 15

2x + 9 = 15 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 3

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let's solve your system by substitution.

2x+3y=15;x+y=6

Rewrite equations:

x+y=6;2x+3y=15

Step: Solvex+y=6for x:

x+y=6

x+y+−y=6+−y(Add -y to both sides)

x=−y+6

Step: Substitute−y+6forxin2x+3y=15:

2x+3y=15

2(−y+6)+3y=15

y+12=15(Simplify both sides of the equation)

y+12+−12=15+−12(Add -12 to both sides)

y=3

Step: Substitute3foryinx=−y+6:

x=−y+6

x=−3+6

x=3(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=3 and y=3
