Answer:

(-
(8)/(5),
(46)/(5) )

Explanation:

Given the2 equations

6 - 2x = y โ†’ (1)

14 + 3x = y โ†’ (2)

Substitute y = 14 + 3x into (1)

6 - 2x = 14 + 3x ( subtract 3x from both sides )

6 - 5x = 14 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

- 5x = 8 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

x = -
(8)/(5)

Substitute x = -
(8)/(5) into either of the 2 equations for the corresponding value of y

Substituting into (1)

y = 6 - 2(-
(8)/(5) ) =
(30)/(5) +
(16)/(5) =
(46)/(5)

solution is ( -
(8)/(5),
(46)/(5) )
