Answer:

(x, y ) = (3, 6 )

Explanation:

given the 2 equations

2x - y = 0 → (1)

3x - 2y = - 3 → (2)

rearrange (2) to give y in terms of x

add y to both sides

y = 2x → (3)

Substitute y = 2x into (2)

3x - 2(2x) = - 3

3x - 4x = - 3

- x = - 3 ⇒ x = 3

substitute x = 3 into (3)

y = 2 × 3 = 6

Solution is (3, 6)
