Bot GPT 3.5 First, let's rewrite the two equations:
1) 6x - 3y = -6
2) 9x - 3y = -18
Now, we can solve this system of equations using the method of substitution or elimination.
Let's use the method of elimination.
Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by -3 to make the coefficients of y the same:
1) 18x - 9y = -18
2) -27x + 9y = 54
Add the two equations together to eliminate y:
18x - 9y - 27x + 9y = -18 + 54
-9x = 36
x = -4
Now substitute x = -4 into one of the original equations to solve for y.
Using equation 1):
6(-4) - 3y = -6
-24 - 3y = -6
-3y = 18
y = -6
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = -4 and y = -6.
