What is the value of the expression below 6x−y when x, equals, 3x=3 and y, equals, 2y=2?

1 answer

To evaluate the expression \( 6x - y \), we first need to determine the values of \( x \) and \( y \).

From the equations given:

  • \( 3x = 3 \)

    • Dividing both sides by 3, we find \( x = 1 \).
  • \( 2y = 2 \)

    • Dividing both sides by 2, we find \( y = 1 \).

Now we can substitute these values into the expression \( 6x - y \):

\[ 6x - y = 6(1) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5. \]

Thus, the value of the expression \( 6x - y \) is \( \boxed{5} \).
