Step-by-step explanation:

3x​−9y=−39, 3x−6y=−21 : x=5, y=6

Steps

[ ​3x−9y=−39 3x−6y=−21 ]

Show Steps

Isolate x for 3x−9y=−39: x=−13+3y

Substitute x=−13+3y

[ 3(−13+3y)−6y=−21 ]

Show Steps

Simplify

[ −39+3y=−21 ]

Show Steps

Isolate y for −39+3y=−21: y=6

For x=−13+3y

Substitute y=6

x=−13+3· 6

Simplify

x=5

The solutions to the system of equations are:
