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
