3x + 2y = 2

-2x + y = 8

The answer to this question is

x = - 2 y = 4

Let's solve for x. 3x + 2y = 2 Step 1: Add - 2y to both sides. 3x + 2y + - 2y = 2 + - 2y 3x = - 2y + 2 Step 2: Divide both sides by 3. 3x 3 = - 2y + 2 3 x = - 2 3 y + 2 3

Let's solve for x. - 2x + y = 8 Step 1: Add - y to both sides. - 2x + y + - y = 8 + - y - 2x = - y + 8 Step 2: Divide both sides by - 2. - 2x - 2 = - y + 8 - 2 x = 12 y - 4
