Answer:
x = 6 and y = 2
Explanation:
2x + 3y = 18 .......... Eqn 1
3x - 3y = 12 ........... Eqn 2
Add both Equations to eliminate y
we have
2x + 3x + 3y - 3y = 18 + 12
5x = 30
Divide both sides by 5
5x / 5 = 30/5
x = 6
Substitute x = 6 into any of the Equations
Using equation 1
we have
2(6) + 3y = 18
3y = 18 - 12
3y = 6
Divide both sides by 3
That's
3y/3 = 6/3
y = 2
Therefore x = 6 and y = 2
Hope this helps
