So for this problem, we're going to be solving the system of equations using the elimination method.
00:07
Now, looking at these two equations, we can't immediately eliminate any of the variables, but if we multiply the second equation by three, we'll be able to get rid of the y variable.
00:19
So let's just do that.
00:22
Multiply that by three.
00:25
So you're going to end up with 9x minus 3y equals 15.
00:32
And i'm just going to copy over the first equation as well so we can add them together.
00:41
Okay, so now when we add them together, we're going to end up with 14x plus 0 equals 21.
00:52
That's going to give us x equals 21 over 14, which equals three halves...
