    P1=2x+2y=30

    after modify them

    P2=2*3x+2*4y=102

    6x+8y=102

    2x+2y=30 / * (-3)

    -6x-6y = - 90

    6x+8y=102

    we must add the 2 expressions

    / 8y-6y=102-90

    2y=12

    y=12:2

    y=6

    2*x+2*y=30

    2x+2*6=30

    2x+12=30

    2x=30-12

    2x=18

    x=18:2

    x=9
