Answer:

2x-3y=2

x=6y-5

2(6y-5)-3y=2

use the distributive property.

2*6y=12y

2*-5=-10

12y-10-3y=2

combine like terms

12y-3y=9y

9y-10=2

add 10 to both sides.

9y-10+10=9y

2+10=12

9y=12

divide both sides by 9

9y/9=y

y=about 1.33

plug in the value of y in the expression equal to the value of x.

x=6(1.33)-5

solve

6*1.33=7.98

x=7.98-5

7.98-5=2.98

Explanation:

x=2.98

y=1.33
