Answer:
x = (59/16)
y = (-65/32)
Explanation:
2x + 12y = −17
3x + 2y = 7
--------------------------
(2x + 12y = −17) × 3
6x + 36y = -51
(3x + 2y = 7) × -2
-6x - 4y = -14
----------------------------------
6x + 36y = -51
-6x - 4y = -14
-----------------------
32y = -65
÷32 ÷32
--------------------------
y = (-65/32)
3x + 2y = 7
3x + 2(-65/32) = 7
3x - (65/16) = 7
+(65/16) +(65/16)
-------------------------------
3x = (177/16)
÷3 ÷3
---------------------------
x = (59/16)
I hope this helps!
