Yea. So you have to get the "y" alone in the first equation so you add the "3x" to both sides. It'll cancel it out on the left side but add it to the right side so it should look like this: \[y=3x+7\]
Still Need Help?

Then you plug that into the "y" of the second equation and you get: \[21+9x=3(3x+7)\]
