3x+2y=46 x+y=17 how u solve

(12, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = 46 x + y = 17

Subtract y from both sides of the equation.

x = 17 − y 3x + 2y = 46

Replace all occurrences of x with 17 − y in each equation.

   51 − y = 46

x = 17 − y

Solve for y in the first equation.

Move all terms not containing y to the right side of the equation.

Subtract 51 from both sides of the equation.

   −y = 46 − 51

   x = 17 − y

Subtract 51 from 46.

   −y = −5

   x = 17 − y

Multiply each term in −y = −5 by −1

Multiply each term in −y = −5 by −1. (−y) ⋅ −1 = (−5) ⋅ −1

   x = 17 − y

Multiply (−y) ⋅ −1.

   y = (−5) ⋅ −1

   x = 17 − y

Multiply −5 by −1.

y = 5

x = 17 − y

Replace all occurrences of y with 5 in each equation.

Replace all occurrences of y in x = 17 − y with 5. x = 17 − (5)

y = 5

Simplify 17 − (5).

Multiply −1 by 5.

x = 17 − 5

y = 5

Subtract 5 from 17.

x = 12

y = 5

The solution to the system is the complete set of ordered pairs that are valid solutions.
