Answer:

x = 2

y = 2

Explanation:

3x + y = 8..…...(1)× -3

4x - 3y = 2......(2)× 1

-9x - 3y = -24.......(3)

4x - 3y = 2..…..........(4)

Cancel -3y - 3y

-9x - 4x = -24 - 2

-13x = -26

Divide both sides by -13

x = 2

Substitute for the value of y

3x + y = 8

3(2) + y = 8

6 + y = 8

y = 8 - 6

y = 2

Answer:

x=2

y=2

Explanation:

You can use the process of elimination

x can't be 3 because than the first question would be 9+y=8 which is even bigger than the answer.

So now, we try 2. x=2

6+y=8 which =

6+2=8

So y must be two

Then we try it on the

Second one.

8-6=2 which makes sense.

Hope it helps
