Find the solution of the system of equations.
6x – 3y = -30
3x – 6y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

6x – 3y = -30

3x – 6y = 12

Multiply the top equation by 2 and write the bottom equation under it.

12x - 6y = - 60

3x - 6y =   12        Subtract

9x = - 72                 Divide by 9

x = - 72/9

x = - 8

6x - 3y = - 30

6*-8 - 3y = -30

-48 - 3y = - 30         Add 48 to both sides.

-3y = - 30 + 48

-3y = 18                   Divide by -3

y = -18/-3

y = -6

2^y = ln 5, or   y(ln 2) = ln 5.   solving for y,   y = (ln 5) / (ln 2).   y=5
