To solve this system of equations, we will use the method of substitution.
First, solve the first equation for x:
x = 6y - 3
Now, substitute this value of x into the second equation:
2(6y - 3) + 7y = 13
Distribute the 2:
12y - 6 + 7y = 13
Combine like terms:
19y - 6 = 13
Add 6 to both sides:
19y = 19
Divide both sides by 19:
y = 1
Now substitute this value of y back into the first equation to solve for x:
x = 6(1) - 3
x = 6 - 3
x = 3
So the solution to the system of equations is x = 3 and y = 1.
Solve.
x=6y-3
2x+7y=13

Apologies for the confusion. Let's solve the system of equations again using the method of elimination.
Given equations:
1) x = 6y - 3
2) 2x + 7y = 13
Step 1: Rearrange equation 1) to solve for x:
x = 6y - 3
Step 2: Substitute the value of x from equation 1) into equation 2):
2(6y - 3) + 7y = 13
12y - 6 + 7y = 13
19y - 6 = 13
Step 3: Move the constant terms to one side of the equation:
19y = 13 + 6
19y = 19
Step 4: Solve for y:
y = 19/19
y = 1
Step 5: Substitute the value of y into equation 1) to solve for x:
x = 6(1) - 3
x = 6 - 3
x = 3
The solution to the system of equations is x = 3 and y = 1.
