find an expression for y from the second equation:- y = (5/3)x + 3 Now substitute this for y in the first equation:- (5/3) x + 3 = (2/3)x + 6 Now solve for x:- (5/3)x - (2/3)x = 6 - 3 x = 3 Now plug x = 3 into the second equation to find the value of y:_ 3y - 5(3) =9 3y = 15+9 = 24 y = 8 So the solution is x = 3, y = 8
