2x-3y = 8 x+2y=3 solve x and y

2x - 3y = 8    


x  + 2y = 3 


multiply the digits on the second equation by 2


By multiplying, your equation should look like


2x - 3y  = 8


2x + 4y = 6


Now, subtract the 2x with 2x ( so subtract -3y with 2y and 8 with 6 )


By doing that your equation should look like


-7y = 2 now divide both sides by -7


By dividing, your equation should look like


y = -2/7 which is your answer for " y "


Now, plug - 2/7 into one of the equation


2x + 4 ( -2/7 ) = 6 multiply 4 with -2/7


By multiplying, your equation should look like


2x - 8/7 = 6 add 8/7 on both sides


By adding, your equation should be


2x = 50/7 divide both sides by 2


By dividing, your equation should look like


x = 50/14 simplify


x = 25/7 which is your answer for " x "


So, your answer is x = 25/7   ; y = -2/7
