2x + 3y = 9 equation 1
-3x + 3y = -6 equation 2
Subtract equation 2 from equation 1 to get:
2x + 3y - (-3x + 3y) = 9 - (-6)
2x + 3y + 3x - 3y = 15
5x = 15
x = 3
Now substitute x's value in either equation 1 or equation 2:
2(3) + 3y = 9
6 + 3y = 9
3y = 3
y = 1
So the solution is x = 3 and y = 1
Substitute x = 3 and y = 1 into equation 1 to check:
2(3) + 3(1) = 6 + 3 = 9
Substitute x = 3 and y = 1 into equation 2 to check:
-3(3) + 3(1) = -9 + 3 = -6
-3x + 3y = -6 equation 2
Subtract equation 2 from equation 1 to get:
2x + 3y - (-3x + 3y) = 9 - (-6)
2x + 3y + 3x - 3y = 15
5x = 15
x = 3
Now substitute x's value in either equation 1 or equation 2:
2(3) + 3y = 9
6 + 3y = 9
3y = 3
y = 1
So the solution is x = 3 and y = 1
Substitute x = 3 and y = 1 into equation 1 to check:
2(3) + 3(1) = 6 + 3 = 9
Substitute x = 3 and y = 1 into equation 2 to check:
-3(3) + 3(1) = -9 + 3 = -6

first pick a variable and get rid of it...since 3y is the same, eliminate that one. but in order to eliminate it, it has to be opposite...so multiply one set by 1 and the other set by -1:
1(2x+3y=9) = 2x+3y=9
-1(-3x+3y=-6) =3x-3y=6
right so now that u have opposites, get rid of the y variable
so now u shud have:
2x=9
3x=6
now add:
5x=15
divide:
x=3
right...now substitute to get y:
2(3)+3y=9
solve:
6+3y=9
3y=3
y=1
(3,1)
and u can double check by substituting with the 2nd equation...im lazy so i cant be bothered...lol
1(2x+3y=9) = 2x+3y=9

x=3 y=1
Multiply the bottom equation by -1 which gives you 3x-3y=6. Combine the equations and the y variables cancel giving you 5x=15 Divide each side by 5 and you get x=3. Next plug in the x and solve the equation and you end up with y=1
