The values are x= 0 and y= -3.

Explanation:

The given equations are,

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

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

Step:1

Modify the equation (2) in (x+y=constant) format,

x-y=3................................(3)

Step:2

The equation (3) is multiplied by 5 (5×Eqn(3))

5x-5y=15........................(4)

Step:3

Subtract the equation (1) and (4)

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

5x-5y=15.......................(4)

( - ) (∵ Eqn(1)-Eqn(4))

(6x-5x)+(-5y+5y)=(15-15)

(x)+(0)=(0)

x=0

Step:4

Substitute the X=0 in the equation (2),

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

(∵ x=0)

0=y=3

y=-3

Step:5

Check for solution substitute values of X and Y in equation (1),

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

(∵ x=0, y=-3)

(6×0)-(5×(-3))=15

15=15

Result:

The solution for equation 6x-5y=15 and x=y+3 are

x=0 and y=-3.
