8 0

2a + 3b = -1
3a + 5b = -2

3(2a + 3b = -1) --> 6a + 9b = -3
2(3a + 5b = -2) --> 6a + 10b = -4
- ___________
b = -1

2a + 3(-1) = -1
2a - 3 = -1
2a = 2
a = 1

2(1) + 3(-1) = -1 --> 2 - 3 = -1
3(1) + 5(-1) = -2 --> 3 - 5 = 2

Answer:
a = 1
b = -1

First step: you got to add y to both sides in the math problem Ex: 15x - y + y < 12 + y

Second step: simplify 15x < 12 + y

Third Step: This you got to divide both sides by 15 like this: 15x/15 < 12/15 + y/15

Last and Fourth step: Simplify and thats your answer x < 12 + y/15
