Answer:

(6, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation for (y), [y=x-5]

So we can implement that in all the places the (y) are in the other equation.

x+3(x-5)=9

x+3x-15=9

add 15 to each side

4x=24

Divide each side by 4

x=6

Now we can apply our (x) into one of the equations.

y=(6)-5

y=1

So our solution is (6, 1)

Hope this helps! If you have any questions on how I got my answer feel free to ask. Stay safe!
