Question

In the below system, solve for y in the first equation.
x - 3y = -6
2x - 7y = 10

Answer 1

Is it a system of equations?

or

Are they separate equations?

Answer 2

a) 1 over 3x +2
b) -1 over 3x +6
c) -x+2
d) -1 over 3x+2

Answer 3

DO YOU HAVE TO SOLVE FOR Y AS A SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS OR SINGLE EQUATION?

Cuz if you solve just the FIRST equation for y:

x - 3y = -6
-x -x
--- ----
-3y = -x - 6
---- --- ---
-3 -3 -3

\[y = \frac{ x }{ 3 } + 2\]
