What is the value of yin the following system?y=3x−5, 6x+3y=15(1 point)

1 answer

To find the value of \( y \) in the given system of equations, we need to solve the equations simultaneously. The equations are:

  1. \( y = 3x - 5 \)
  2. \( 6x + 3y = 15 \)

We can substitute the expression for \( y \) from the first equation into the second equation.

Substituting \( y \) in the second equation:

\[ 6x + 3(3x - 5) = 15 \]

Now, simplify the equation:

\[ 6x + 9x - 15 = 15 \]

Combine like terms:

\[ 15x - 15 = 15 \]

Add 15 to both sides:

\[ 15x = 30 \]

Now, divide by 15:

\[ x = 2 \]

Now that we have \( x \), we can substitute it back into the first equation to find \( y \):

\[ y = 3(2) - 5 \] \[ y = 6 - 5 \] \[ y = 1 \]

Thus, the value of \( y \) is \( \boxed{1} \).
