Hi,

For this question, we are given the following system of equations:

2x - y = 3
x + y = 3

Let's make the first equation in the form of y = mx + b as shown below:

y = 2x - 3
x + y = 3

Now, substitute the first equation into the second to get:

x + 2x - 3 = 3

Combine similar terms to get:

3x = 6

x = 2

We now know that x = 2 and can plug this value into one of the given equations to get:

2 + y = 3

y = 1

FINAL ANSWER: x = 2 ; y = 1

I hope that helps you out!
