What x value solves the equation?
3x – 5 = 1
x=

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x – 5 = 1

    + 5  +5

3x  = 6

x = 6 ÷ 3

x = 2

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

3x - 5 = 1          Equation

Step 2:

3x = 6        Add 5 on both sides

Step 3:

x = 6 ÷ 3      Divide

x = 2

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
