Answer:
y = -9
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
in order to determine the value of y in the equation we would say let
7x+2y=3 .......................................... equation 1
x-3y=30.......................................... equation 2
from equation 2
x-3y=30.......................................... equation
x = 30 + 3y..................................... equation 3
substitute for equation 3 into equation 1
7x+2y=3 .......................................... equation 1
7( 30 + 3y) + 2y = 3
210 + 21y + 2y = 3
210 + 23y = 3
combine the like terms
23y = 3 - 210
23y = - 207
divide both sides by the coefficient of y
23y/23 = -207/23
y = -9
substitute for y =-9 into equation 3
x = 30 + 3y..................................... equation 3
x = 30 + 3(-9)
x = 30 -27
x = 3
