Solve by Addition/Elimination 4y=3x+5 6y=3x+21

$4 y = 3 x + 5$ $6 y = 3 x + 21$

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

$4 y - 3 x = 5$

$6 y = 3 x + 21$

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

$4 y - 3 x = 5$

$6 y - 3 x = 21$

$4 y - 3 x = 5$

Reorder the polynomial.

$- 3 x + 4 y = 5$

$6 y - 3 x = 21$
