Answer:

x = 1

y = 6

Explanation:

Well with those two equations you provided we can solve for x using substitution.

Plug y=6x in for y in 3x+2y=15 to find x through substitution

3x+2(6x)=15 <- Distribute the 2

3x+12x=15

15x=15 <- Combine like terms

x=1 <- Divide both sides by 15

Now that we have x lets plug it in for x in the equation y=6x

y=6x <- Rewrite

y=6(1) <- Plug in

y=6 <- Solved
