Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
Pls post the full question next time so that we can make sure what is expected.
I assume that you want to solve for (x,y)
(1) 2x + 3y = 7
(2) 3x + 2y = 8
2*(2)-3*(1) gives
2*3x + 2*2y - 3*2x - 3*3y = 2*8 - 3*7 = 16 - 21 = -5
6x - 6x + 4y -9y = -5
-5y=-5
y = 1
and we can replace in (1)
2x + 3*1 = 7
2x = 7 - 3 = 4
x = 2
hope this helps
