Answer:
the value of x and y is 3 and -1 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
from the question
let
2x + 3y = 3........................ equation 1
y = 8 - 3x.............................. equation 2
put y = 8 - 3x in equation 1
2x + 3y = 3........................ equation 1
2x + 3 ( 8 - 3x) = 3
2x + 24 - 9x = 3
24 - 7x = 3
24 = 3 + 7x
24 -3 = 7x
21 = 7x
divide both sides by 7
x = 3
put x = 3 in equation 2
y = 8 - 3x.............................. equation 2
y = 8 - 3 ( 3)
y = 8 -9
y = -1
therefore the value of x and y is 3 and -1 respectively.
