9x-6k=-3,x+y=k
To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.
9x-6k=-3
Pick one of the two equations which is more simple to solve for x by isolating x on the left hand side of the equal sign.
9x=6k-3
Add 6k to both sides of the equation.
x=\frac{2k-1}{3}
Divide both sides by 9.
\frac{2k-1}{3}+y=k
Substitute \frac{-1+2k}{3} for x in the other equation, x+y=k.
y=\frac{k+1}{3}
Subtract \frac{-1+2k}{3} from both sides of the equation.
x=\frac{2k-1}{3},y=\frac{k+1}{3}
The system is now solved.
