9x − 6y = 12

y = 1

1 answer

To solve the system of equations given by \( 9x - 6y = 12 \) and \( y = 1 \), we can substitute the value of \( y \) into the first equation.

Substituting \( y = 1 \) into \( 9x - 6y = 12 \):

\[ 9x - 6(1) = 12 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 9x - 6 = 12 \]

Next, add 6 to both sides:

\[ 9x = 12 + 6 \]

\[ 9x = 18 \]

Now, divide both sides by 9:

\[ x = \frac{18}{9} = 2 \]

So, the solution for the system of equations is:

\[ x = 2, \quad y = 1 \]

Thus, the solution is \( (2, 1) \).
