Hey!

------------------------------------------------

Solve for x:

3x + 2y = 3975

~Subtract 2y to both sides.

3x + 2y − 2y = 3975 − 2y

~Simplify

3x = 3975 − 2y

~Divide 3 to both sides

3x/3 = 3975-2y/3

x = 1,375 - 2/3

------------------------------------------------

Solve for y:

3x + 2y = 3975

~Subtract 3x to both sides.

3x + 2y − 3x = 3975 − 3x

~Simplify

2y = 3975 − 3x

~Divide 2 to both sides

2y/2 = 3975-3x/2

~Simplify

y = 3975/2 - 3x/2

------------------------------------------------

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
