Answer:
(1, 6 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
3x - 2y = - 9 → (1)
4x + 3y = 22 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by 2 and adding the result will eliminate the x- term
9x - 6y = - 27 → (3)
8x + 6y = 44 → (4)
Add (3) and (4) term by term
17x = 17 ( divide both sides by 17 )
x = 1
Substitute x = 1 into either (1) or (2) and solve for y
Substituting in (2)
4(1) + 3y = 22
4 + 3y = 22 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
3y = 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )
y = 6
Solution is (1, 6 )
