1 answer

To solve the system of equations, we can use the method of substitution.

From the first equation, we can solve for x in terms of y:
x + 3y = 15
x = 15 - 3y

Now we can substitute this value for x in the second equation:
3(15 - 3y) + 2y = 10
45 - 9y + 2y = 10
-7y = -35
y = 5

Therefore, the value of y for the solution to the system of equations is y = 5.
