Question

In the below system, solve for y in the first equation. x − 3y = −6 2x − 7y = 10

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{3}x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equation is;

$x-3y=-6...(1)$

and

$2x-7y=10...(2)$

To solve for y in the first equation; we add $-x$ to both sides.

$-3y=-6-x$

We now divide through by -3;

This implies that;

$y=\frac{1}{3}x+2$
