Solve for variable x:
4)
\[
\begin{array}{l}
-6 x+9 y=15 \\
6 x+3 y=21
\end{array}
\]
Simplify the equation: \(x = \frac{1}{4}\)
Step 1 :Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by -1: \(\begin{cases} -12x + 18y = 30 \\ 6x + 3y = 21 \end{cases}\)
Step 2 :Add the two equations together: \((-12x + 18y) + (6x + 3y) = 30 + 21\)
Step 3 :Simplify the equation: \(-6x + 21y = 51\)
Step 4 :Divide both sides of the equation by 3: \(\frac{-6x}{3} + \frac{21y}{3} = \frac{51}{3}\)
Step 5 :Simplify the equation: \(-2x + 7y = 17\)
Step 6 :Substitute the value of \(-2x + 7y\) from the second equation into the first equation: \(-2x + 7(3 - 2x) = 17\)
Step 7 :Simplify the equation: \(-2x + 21 - 14x = 17\)
Step 8 :Combine like terms: \(-16x + 21 = 17\)
Step 9 :Subtract 21 from both sides of the equation: \(-16x = -4\)
Step 10 :Divide both sides of the equation by -16: \(x = \frac{-4}{-16}\)
Step 11 :Simplify the equation: \(x = \frac{1}{4}\)
