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.

$9 x + 18 y = 36$

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 $6$ .

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

$9 x + 18 y = 36$

Cancel the common factor.

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

$9 x + 18 y = 36$

Rewrite the expression.

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

$9 x + 18 y = 36$

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

$9 x + 18 y = 36$

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

$9 x + 18 y = 36$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

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

$9 x + 18 y = 36$

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

$9 x + 18 y = 36$

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

$9 x + 18 y = 36$

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

$9 x + 18 y = 36$

Step 3

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

$18 y = 36 - 9 x$

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.
