6x+7y=45\\9x-7y=45

Simply eliminate y to get the value of x (Because 7y-7y=0 which is easier to get the answer and faster)


15x=90\\x=6

15x=90 is from 6x+9x = 15x, 7y-7y = 0 and 45+45 = 90

We know the value of x, now for the value of y.

Substitute x = 6 into one of the equation, any equations but not all, just one.

So for me, I'll substitute x=6 in 6x+7y=45


6(6)+7y=45\\36+7y=45\\7y=45-36\\7y=9\\y=(9)/(7)

So the answer is x = 6 and y = 9/7
