In this question, you're solving the systems of equations to find what x and y equal to.

Solve the systems of equations:

x + y = 3

x + 2y = 6

Lets make the "y" variable the same by multiplying the top equation by -2.

-2(x + y = 3)

x + 2y = 6

----------------

-2x -2y = -6

x + 2y = 6

Solve:

-x =0

x = 0

Now, we know x = 0, now plug 0 into x in one of the equations and solve:

We'll plug it into the x + y = 3 equation.

0 + y = 3

y = 3

When you're done solving, you should get:

x = 0 and y = 3

Answer:

x = 0

y = 3
