Bot GPT 3.5 To solve this system of equations, we can use the method of substitution or elimination. In this case, let's use the elimination method.
Multiply the first equation by 5 and the second equation by 3 to get rid of the x variable:
15x + 30y = 105
-15x + 6y = 39
Add the two equations together:
36y = 144
Now, solve for y:
y = 144 / 36
y = 4
Now that we have found the value of y, substitute it back into one of the original equations to solve for x. Let's use the first equation:
3x + 6(4) = 21
3x + 24 = 21
3x = 21 - 24
3x = -3
x = -1
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = -1 and y = 4.
