Answer :
first you need to rearrange the equation so both numbers are on the same side :
x - 2y = -1
3x - 3y = 9
then times to mark out x or y
3x -6y = -3
3x -3y = 9
then minus them
-3y = -12
y = 4 x = 7
x - 2y = -1
3x - 3y = 9
then times to mark out x or y
3x -6y = -3
3x -3y = 9
then minus them
-3y = -12
y = 4 x = 7
