Answer:
x = 2
, y = -3
Step-by-step explanation by elimination:
Solve the following system:
{3 x - y = 9 | (equation 1)
2 x - y = 7 | (equation 2)
Subtract 2/3 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{3 x - y = 9 | (equation 1)
0 x - y/3 = 1 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 3:
{3 x - y = 9 | (equation 1)
0 x - y = 3 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by -1:
{3 x - y = 9 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = -3 | (equation 2)
Add equation 2 to equation 1:
{3 x+0 y = 6 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = -3 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 3:
{x+0 y = 2 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = -3 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = 2
, y = -3
