Solve for x and y
3x+y=6
x+y=2

Answer 1

x = 2

y = 0

Explanation:

Let’s solve the simultaneous equations.

3x + y = 6

x + y = 2

Solve for x in the second equation.

x = 2 - y

Put x as 2 - y in the first equation and solve for y.

3(2 - y) + y = 6

6 - 3y + y = 6

6 - 2y = 6

-2y = 0

y = 0/-2

y = 0

Put y as 0 in the first equation and solve for x.

3x + 0 = 6

3x = 6

x = 6/3

x = 2

Answer 2

I'm glad you asked!

Explanation:

Let's solve for y first.

`3x + y = 6`

Step 1: Add -3x to both sides.

`3x+y+-3x=6+-3x`

`y=-3x+6`

Answer:

`y=-3x+6`

Now let's solve for x

`3x+y=6`

Step 1: Add -y to both sides.

`3x+y+-y=6+-y`

`3x=-y+6`

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

`(3x)/(3) =(-y+6)/(3)`

`x=(-1)/(3) y+2`

Answer:

`x=(-1)/(3) y+2`
