Question

What is the solution to the system of equations below?
{2y=x+6
{3x=y+7​

Answer 1

x=4, y=5

Explanation:

2y=x+6

3x=y+7

If you subtract 6 from both sides of the first equation, x will be isolated and you can plug it into the second equation. The new first equation is 2y-6=x, which when plugged into the second equation yields:

3(2y-6)=y+7

6y-18=y+7

5y=25

y=5

x=4

Hope this helps!
