    6x-90+3y

    x-3y=50

    I think that you mistyped the question (no equals sign in the first equation.) I hope that I have guessed the equation correctly; if not, let me know the correct equations & I'll redo it.

    6x-90=3y

    x-3y=50

    This is most easily solved by substitution.

    x-(6x-90)=50 - Plug the first equation in for the 3y value in the second equation.

    Now, simplify & solve for x.

    x-(6x-90)=50

    -5x -90 = 50

    -5x -90 +90 = 50 +90

    -5x = 140

    -5x / -5 = 140 / -5

    x = -28 - Plug this value into either of the original equations & solve for y.

    x-3y=50

    (-28) - 3y = 50

    (-28) - 3y + 28 = 50 + 28

    -3y = 78

    -3y / -3 = 78 / -3

    y = -26

    *********************Update****************

    Based on the new equations...

    6x=90+3y

    If you move the 90 to the other side of the equation, you get:

    6x - 90 = 90 + 3y - 90

    6x - 90 = 3y which is the same as my presumed equation, os my solution should work for you.

    use substitution:

    x=50-3y

    Insert new equation for x into the first equation

    6(50-3y)-90+3y=0

    300-18y-90+3y=0

    210-15y=0

    -15y=-210

    y=14

    Back to the second equation:

    x-3(14)=50

    x-42=50

    x=92

    Solution is:

    x=92, y=14

    you have to use substituition:

    x=3y+50

    6(3y+50)-90+3y

    18y+300-90+3y

    21y+210

    21y=-210

    y=-10

    then you have to plug y into x=3y+50

    x=3(-10)+50

    x=-30+50

    x=20

    so y=-10, x=20

    Hi, you left out an equal sign in the first one; can you retype it and re-submit? Then someone will help you.
