Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: x = 7 and y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x +3y = 8 ----------------(1)
x-y = 9 ----------------------(2)
multiply (2) by 2
2x-2y = 18--------------------(3)
subtract (2) from (3)
-5y = 10
Divide bothside by -5
y = -2
Similarly, multiply (2) by 3
3x-3y = 27-----------------------(4)
add (1) and (4) together
5x = 35
Divide bothside by 5
x= 7
Therefore, x =7 and y= -2
