A beverage is made by mixing 3 parts of water with 5 parts of fruit juice. How many parts of water are mixed with 1 part of fruit juice? A. 3 over 8 B. 3 over 5 C. 5 over 3 D. 5 over 8

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

80
