[tex] \huge \colorbox{yellow}{Question}[/tex]

[tex]x = y - 3[/tex]

[tex]2x + y = 12[/tex]

[tex] \huge \colorbox{yellow}{Answer}[/tex]

[tex]x = y - 3 \: (equation \: 1)[/tex]

[tex]2x + y = 12 \: (equation \: 2)[/tex]

Substituting the value of x in

( equation 2)

[tex]2x + y = 12[/tex]

[tex]2(y - 3) + y = 12[/tex]

[tex]2y - 6 + y = 12[/tex]

[tex]2y + y = 12 + 6[/tex]

[tex]3y = 18[/tex]

[tex]y = 18 \div 3[/tex]

[tex]y = 6[/tex]

Now we get y = 6

Substituting the value of y in

( equation 1 )

[tex]x = y - 3[/tex]

[tex]x = 6 - 3[/tex]

[tex]x = 3[/tex]

Now we get x = 3

[tex] \huge \mathsf\red{Final \: Answer}[/tex]

y = 6

x = 3
