Substitute x in second equation: Given the equation x=7, we will substitute this value into the second equation 6x+3y=12. Substitute 7 for x in 6x+3y=12. 6(7)+3y=12
Simplify the equation: Simplify the equation by multiplying 6 by 7. 42+3y=12
Isolate the variable term: Isolate the variable term 3y by subtracting 42 from both sides of the equation.42+3y−42=12−423y=−30
Solve for y: Solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by 3.33y=3−30y=−10
Write the solution as ordered pair: We found:x=7y=−10Now we can write the solution as an ordered pair.The solution is (7,−10).
