9x-2y=19 7x=21 can you please help me answer this question

Sagot :

We have such system of eq
[tex] \left \{ {{9x-2y=19} \atop {7x=21}} \right. [/tex]
First lets solve second eq
7x=21   /:7   divide both sides by 7
x=3
Now we can substitute it to first equation
9x-2y=19
9*3-2y=19
27-2y=19    /-27 subtract 27 both sides
-2y=-8     /:(-2)  divide both sides by -2
y=4 - its the answer
