What is the value of the x variable in the solution to the following system of equations?

3x + 2y = 8
2x + 3y = 2

4
−2
x can be any number as there are infinitely many solutions to this system
There is no x value as there is no solution to this system

(3x + 2y = 8)X-3
-9x -6y = -18

(2x + 3y =2)X2


-9x -6y = -18
4x + 6y = 4
------------------
-5x + 0 = -14
-5x = -14
x = 14/5

If you wanted to find y
2y = 8 - 3(x)
2y = 8 - 3(14/5)
2y = -0.4
y = -0.2

I know this is a bit confusing, let me know if you need help :) also i hope this answered your question, sorry if it didn't xx
