Question

6x - 5y = 15, x=y+3 what does x and y equal

Answer 1

X = 0

Y = -3

Explanation:

6x−5y=15

x=y+3

6 (y + 3) - 5y = 15

6y + 18 - 5y = 15

y + 18 = 15

y = -3

x = -3 + 3

x = 0

I also did it on khan an I got it right.

Answer 2

Explanation:

6x - 5y = 15....... (1)

x=y+3..........(2)

Putting (2) in (1)

6(y + 3) - 5y = 15

6y + 18 - 5y = 15

6y - 5y = 15 - 18

y = -3

And x = y + 3

x = -3 + 3

x = 0
