Respuesta :
3x + 4y = 32....multiply by 5
5x + 5y = 50...multiply by -3
---------------
15x + 20y = 160 (result of multiplying by 5)
-15x - 15y = -150 (result of multiplying by -3)
--------------add
5y = 10
y = 10/5
y = 2
3x + 4y = 32
3x + 4(2) = 32
3x + 8 = 32
3x = 32 - 8
3x = 24
x = 24/3
x = 8
solution (8,2)
