This is system of equations and as such there are two methods of solving: elimination and substitution. Luckily Y is already isolated here, so in this case we just have to put in the value of y into 3x + 2y = 6
To do this we simply do: 3x + 2(-3/2+5) = 6 Distribute the 2 into the brackets 3x + -6/2 + 5 = 6 Move the 5 over and simplify the fraction 3x + (-3) = 1 Move the three over. 3x = 4 Isolate x x=4/3
