Combine equations: Let's add the two equations together to eliminate y.(3x+3y)+(x−3y)=42+334x=75Now, divide both sides by 4 to find x.x=475x=18.75
Find x: Now, let's substitute x back into one of the original equations to find y. Using the second equation: x−3y=3318.75−3y=33 Subtract 18.75 from both sides. −3y=33−18.75−3y=14.25 Now, divide both sides by −3 to find y. y=−314.25y0
