Answer: x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
You didn't state what you needed for these problems so I'm going to assume you need to solve for X.
1st Equation:
3x - y = 23 --> y = 3x - 23
2nd Equation:
2x + 3y = 8 --> (3y = 8 - 2x)/3 = y = 8/3 - 2x/3
Set Equations = to Each other
3x - 23 = 8/3 - 2x/3 --> 3x - 2x/3 = 8/3 + 23
9x/3 - 2x/3 = 8/3 + 69/3 --> 7x/3 =77/3
7x/3 X 3/7 = 77/3 X 3/7
x = 11
If you need to solve for y as well plug the x value back into the original equation and solve.
