Answer:

x=1 y=1

Explanation:

You want to chose either x or y to cancel out of both equations. I chose y, so I multiplied the entire equation of 3x-y=2 by 2 to get 6x-2y=4

6x-2y=4

x+2y=3

The -2y and 2y cancel each other out, the 6x and x can be added, and the 4 and 3 can be added.

7x=7

x=1

Now that we know x=1, plug in x to one of the original equation.

1+2y=3

2y=2

y=1
