Explanation:
(3x + 2y =19)(3)
-9x + 8y =-29
9x + 6y = 57 NOTE: we cross here 9x in first
-9x + 8y = -29 we cross here - 9x in second
Since 9x and - 9x are opposite
___________
6y +8y = 57 - 29
14y = 28
Y=28/14
Y=2
Replace y in second equation of this system:
-9x + 8y = - 29
-9x +8(2)= - 29
-9x + 16 = - 29
-9x = -29 - 16
-9x = - 45
X= -45/-9
X=5
Hope this helps..
