You need to solve a system of equations. One method that is easy to use is addition. You need to add both equations and eliminate a variable.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

-3x + y = 1 x + 6y = 6 Notice that if you add the equations the way they are now, you get -2x + 7y = 7, and no variable was elinminated.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

That means we need one more step. One of the equations needs to be multiplied by a number, so that when you add the two equations together, one variable will be eliminated.
