\

The equations are

\

$\"\"$ (Equation 1)

\

$\"\"$ (Equation 2)

\

Since $\"\"$

\

Rewrite the second equation for x.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

Apply subtraction property of equality: Subtract y from each side.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive identity property: a + 0 = a) $\"\"$

\

Now Substitute $\"\"$ for x in either equation to find the value of y.

\

$\"\"$ (Equation 2)

\

$\"\"$ (Replace x by $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

Apply division property of equality: Divide each side by 3.

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by 3)

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

$\"\"$ (Divide: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply each side by negative one)

\

$\"\"$ (Product of two same signs is positive) $\"\"$

\

\

\

Now $\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (replace y by $\"\"$ 2)

\

$\"\"$ (Product of two same signs is positive)

\

The solution is $\"\"$ $\"\"$

\

The solution is $\"\"$ .
