Question

3x - 2y = 38

x = 6 - y


Choose a solving method to find the solution


(if possible provide explanation I do not understand this!)

Answer 1

plug 6-y in for x
3(6-y)-2y=38
distribute
18-3y-2y=38
combine like terms
18-5y=38
subtract and divide
y=-4

plug y in
x=6-(-4)
solve
x=10

y= -4
x=10

Answer 2

hope this is correct and that it helps
