Answer:
(7, - 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
x = - 3y + 1 → (1)
- 3x - 3y = - 15 → (2)
Substitute x = - 3y + 1 into (2)
- 3(- 3y + 1) - 3y = - 15 ← distribute and simplify left side
9y - 3 - 3y = - 15
6y - 3 = - 15 ( add 3 to both sides )
6y = - 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )
y = - 2
Substitute y = - 2 into (1) for corresponding value of x
x = - 3(- 2) + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7
solution is (7, - 2 )
