Solve by Graphing 3x-6y=12 , 9x-18y=36

$3 x - 6 y = 12$ , $9 x - 18 y = 36$

Step 1

Subtract $3 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 6 y = 12 - 3 x$

$9 x - 18 y = 36$

Step 2

Divide each term in $- 6 y = 12 - 3 x$ by $- 6$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 6 y = 12 - 3 x$ by $- 6$ .

$\frac{- 6 y}{- 6} = \frac{12}{- 6} + \frac{- 3 x}{- 6}$

$9 x - 18 y = 36$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 6$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 6 y}{- 6} = \frac{12}{- 6} + \frac{- 3 x}{- 6}$

$9 x - 18 y = 36$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{12}{- 6} + \frac{- 3 x}{- 6}$

$9 x - 18 y = 36$

$y = \frac{12}{- 6} + \frac{- 3 x}{- 6}$

$9 x - 18 y = 36$

$y = \frac{12}{- 6} + \frac{- 3 x}{- 6}$

$9 x - 18 y = 36$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Divide $12$ by $- 6$ .

$y = - 2 + \frac{- 3 x}{- 6}$

$9 x - 18 y = 36$

Cancel the common factor of $- 3$ and $- 6$ .

Factor $- 3$ out of $- 3 x$ .

$y = - 2 + \frac{- 3 x}{- 6}$

$9 x - 18 y = 36$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $- 3$ out of $- 6$ .

$y = - 2 + \frac{- 3 x}{- 3 \cdot 2}$

$9 x - 18 y = 36$

Cancel the common factor.

$y = - 2 + \frac{- 3 x}{- 3 \cdot 2}$

$9 x - 18 y = 36$

Rewrite the expression.

$y = - 2 + \frac{x}{2}$

$9 x - 18 y = 36$

$y = - 2 + \frac{x}{2}$

$9 x - 18 y = 36$

$y = - 2 + \frac{x}{2}$

$9 x - 18 y = 36$

$y = - 2 + \frac{x}{2}$

$9 x - 18 y = 36$

$y = - 2 + \frac{x}{2}$

$9 x - 18 y = 36$

$y = - 2 + \frac{x}{2}$

$9 x - 18 y = 36$

Step 3

Subtract $9 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 18 y = 36 - 9 x$

$y = - 2 + \frac{x}{2}$

Step 4

Divide each term in $- 18 y = 36 - 9 x$ by $- 18$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 18 y = 36 - 9 x$ by $- 18$ .

$\frac{- 18 y}{- 18} = \frac{36}{- 18} + \frac{- 9 x}{- 18}$

$y = - 2 + \frac{x}{2}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 18$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 18 y}{- 18} = \frac{36}{- 18} + \frac{- 9 x}{- 18}$

$y = - 2 + \frac{x}{2}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{36}{- 18} + \frac{- 9 x}{- 18}$

$y = - 2 + \frac{x}{2}$

$y = \frac{36}{- 18} + \frac{- 9 x}{- 18}$

$y = - 2 + \frac{x}{2}$

$y = \frac{36}{- 18} + \frac{- 9 x}{- 18}$

$y = - 2 + \frac{x}{2}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Divide $36$ by $- 18$ .

$y = - 2 + \frac{- 9 x}{- 18}$

$y = - 2 + \frac{x}{2}$

Cancel the common factor of $- 9$ and $- 18$ .

Factor $- 9$ out of $- 9 x$ .

$y = - 2 + \frac{- 9 x}{- 18}$

$y = - 2 + \frac{x}{2}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $- 9$ out of $- 18$ .

$y = - 2 + \frac{- 9 x}{- 9 \cdot 2}$

$y = - 2 + \frac{x}{2}$

Cancel the common factor.

$y = - 2 + \frac{- 9 x}{- 9 \cdot 2}$

$y = - 2 + \frac{x}{2}$

Rewrite the expression.

$y = - 2 + \frac{x}{2}$

Step 5
