In this system

x+3y=9

4x-2y=-6

it'll be easiest to start by solving the first equation for x.

The result of doing so is x=​9-3y.

Fill in the blanks to plug that expression in and solve for y:

4(​9-3y)-2​y =-6

36-​12y-2y=​-6

36-​14y =-6

-14y=​ (a)  

y=​ (b)

Put the steps for solving by ELIMINATION in order:

Solve for the remaining variable

Multiply one or both equations by a number to get common but opposite coefficients

Subtract the equations to eliminate one variable

Make sure the equations are lined up

Plug that number into either original equation and solve for the other variable
