Answer:

y=6 , x=1

Explanation:

y=6x

2x+3y=20

Substitute 6x into y because y=6x.

2x+3(6x)=20

2x+18x=20

20x=20

x=1

Then subsitiute 1 into the first equation in x value

y=6(1)

y=6

Answer:

x = 1, y = 6

Explanation:

y = 6x

2x + 3y = 20

Plug y as 6x in the second equation and solve for x.

2x + 3(6x) = 20

2x + 18x = 20

20x = 20


(20x)/(20)= (20)/(20)

x = 1

Plug x as 1 in the first equation and solve for y.

y = 6(1)

y = 6
