Question

y = 6x - 5

y = -x + 9

Answer 1

Hi Kaitlin M

y = 6x - 5

y = -x + 9

If you take the first equation and put the variables on one side of the equation and the constants on the other

For the first equation

y - 6x = -5

You are given y in terms of x in the second equation

y = - x + 9

If you make a substitution for y, you can easily solve for x

Once you get x you can plug that value back into y = -x + 9 to find y
