Simultaneous Equations:
(3x + 5y = 7)×(-3)
(4x + 3y = 2)×(5)
-9x - 15y = -21
20x+15y =10 (-15y and and+15y cancels out)
11x = -11
= 
(11 and 11 cancels out)
x= -1
substitute the x we found into either original expressions
3(-1) + 5y = 7
-3 + 5y = 7
+3 -3+ 5y = 7+ 3
5y = 10
=
(5 and 5 cancels out)
y=2
Check it!
