\

The equations are

\

$\"\"$ (equation 1)

\

$\"\"$ (equation 2) $\"\"$

\

Since $\"\"$

\

Rewrite the first equation for x.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract 2x from each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Commutative property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Additive identity property: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

\

\

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

\

\

$\"\"$ (equation 2)

\

$\"\"$ (replace $\"\"$ )

\

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

\

$\"\"$ (Commutative property: $\"\"$ ) \ \

\

$\"\"$ (Add: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Add 9 to each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Additive identity property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Add: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by 6)

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

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

\

\

\

Now $\"\"$

\

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

\

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

\

\"\"

(Add:

\"\"

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