Answer:
X would equal 2 (x=2)
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, we can use the substitution method. First plug in y.
[tex]2x-3(x-1)=-1[/tex]
We can then simplify the equation by multiplying -3 to (x-1),
[tex]2x-3x+1=-1[/tex]
Now, combine the x's.
[tex]-x+1=-1[/tex]
Subtract 1 from both sides.
[tex]-x=-2[/tex]
Because x must be positive, we have to divide by -1 on both sides.
[tex]x=2[/tex]
