Use substitution to find the solutions for each system of linear equations .
1. Y = -3x
-6x + y = -9

no

the goal total would be too high

Step-by-step explanation: If Sadie had scored 4 goals, Connor would have scored 2 times 4 = 8 goals. Their goal total would then be 4+8 = 12, not 9. Sadie cannot have scored 4 goals.

__

If we let s represent the number of goals Sadie scored, then 2s is the number Connor scored. Their total is ...

 s + 2s = 9

 3s = 9 . . . . . . collect terms

 s = 9/3 = 3 . . . divide by the coefficient of s

Sadie scored 3 goals. (s=4 is not the solution to the problem)
