Answer: Rewrite equations:
3x=y;x−2y=10
Step: Solve3x=yfor y:
3x=y
3x+−y=y+−y(Add -y to both sides)
3x−y=0
3x−y+−3x=0+−3x(Add -3x to both sides)
−y=−3x
−y
−1
=
−3x
−1
(Divide both sides by -1)
y=3x
Step: Substitute3xforyinx−2y=10:
x−2y=10
x−23x=10
−5x=10(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−5x
−5
=
10
−5
(Divide both sides by -5)
x=−2
Step: Substitute−2forxiny=3x:
y=3x
y=(3)(−2)
y=−6(Simplify both sides of the equation)
