Answer:
(x, y) = (12, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
I find the simplest solution is often found using a graphing calculator.
(x, y) = (12, -1)
__
We notice that the coefficients of x are identical, so we can eliminate x by subtracting the first equation from the second.
(x +3y) -(x -2y) = (9) -(14)
5y = -5 . . . . simplify
y = -1 . . . . . divide by 5
x = 14 +2y = 14 +2(-1) . . . . using the first equation to find x
x = 12
