Can please someone help me out and explain it step by step. Thank you
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:x=7, \ y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Equations are 3x-y=23 and 2x+3y=8

take 3x-y=23

y=3x-23

Put the value of y in another equation

\Rightarrow 2x+3(3x-23)=8\\\Rightarrow 2x+9x-69=8\\\Rightarrow 11x=77\\\Rightarrow x=7

Put the value of x in y

y=3(7)-23=21-23=-2

Hence, x=7, \ y=-2
