Answer:

x=−2 and y=−5

Explanation:

Solve3x−2y=4for x:

3x−2y=4

3x−2y+2y=4+2y(Add 2y to both sides)

3x=2y+4

3x /3 = 2y+4 /3 (Divide both sides by 3)

x= 2 /3 y+ 4 /3

Substitute 2 /3 y+ 4 /3 for x in6x−2y=−2:

6x−2y=−2

6( 2 /3 y+ 4 /3 )−2y=−2

2y+8=−2(Simplify both sides of the equation)

2y+8+−8=−2+−8(Add -8 to both sides)

2y=−10

2y /2 = −10 /2 (Divide both sides by 2)

y=−5

Substitute−5 for y in x=

2 /3 y+ 4 /3 :

x= 2 /3 y+ 4 /3

x= 2 /3 (−5)+ 4 /3

x=−2(Simplify both sides of the equation)
