Explanation:

let's assumed that

x = 1h of horseback

y = 1h of parasailing

3h of horseback = 3x

2h of parasailing = 2y

and

2h of horseback = 2x

3h of parasailing = 3y

if

3x + 2y = 192

2x + 3y = 213

to find y we have to remove the x

(3x + 2y = 192) × 2

(2x + 3y = 213) × 3

6x + 4y = 384

6x + 9y = 639

___________ -

-5y = -255

y = 51

substitute y to any equation to find x

3x + 2y = 192

3x + 2(51) = 192

3x + 102 = 192

3x = 192 - 102

3x = 90

x = 30

so the answers are 1h of horseback = $30 and 1h of parasailing = $51
