Hello!

We have two different scenarios that we have to solve in the question. We will be solving for both the x and y variable.

We were given the equation: -3y + 2x = -18

To solve for our variables, we will use the values given in our question.

Solve:

Lets solve for the value "y", where our x = 0

Plug in 0 to x and solve:

-3y + 2(0) = -18

-3y = -18

y = 6

Lets now solve for the value "x", where our y = 0

Plug in 0 to y and solve:

-3(0) + 2x = -18

2x = -18

x = -9

Therefore, our answers would be: y = 6, x = -9

Answer:

y = 6

x = -9
