HELP ASAP (1O BRAILY/POINTS FOR ANSWER)

What is the value of x in the solution of the system?
x + y = 3
y = -6x + 3

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 3 ---------------- eqn 1

y = -6x + 3 ------------- eqn 2

Substitute y for -6x + 3 in equation 1

x + -6x + 3 = 3

x - 6x + 3 = 3

-5x + 3 = 3

Collect like terms

-5x = 3 - 3

-5x = 0

Divide both sides by -5

x = 0

Answer 2

Explanation:

x + y = 3 ---------------- eqn 1

y = -6x + 3 ------------- eqn 2

Substitute y for -6x + 3 in equation 1

x + -6x + 3 = 3

x - 6x + 3 = 3

-5x + 3 = 3

Collect like terms

-5x = 3 - 3

-5x = 0

Divide both sides by -5

x = 0
