Maria is making a fruit punch. There are 15.75 ounces of orange juice in a container. Maria pours 2.25 ounces of cranberry juice into the container each second. How many ounces of fruit punch are in the container after 9 seconds?

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

what is the answer to this
