2x+y=3
x-y= 1

solve the equation ​

x = 4/3

y = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

System of equations! This is set up really well to make the second equation equal x then substitute.

x - y = 1

x = 1 + y

and then our substitution:

2 (1+y) + y = 3

and solve:

2 + 2y + y = 3

3y + 2 = 3

3y = 1

y = 1/3

And now we can substitute that value into one of our equations:

x - (1/3) = 1

x = 4/3

Next we should check by substituting these values into both of our equations:

2 (4/3) + (1/3) = 3

9 / 3 does equal 3 !

(4/3) - (1/3) does equal 1 !

Therefore, x = 4/3 , and y = 1/3

answer: 21$

step-by-step explanation:

$42 / $14 = 3   (ratio 3: 1)

$7 x 3 = $21

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
