\

The system of equations are $\"\"$ .

\

Elimination method:

\

$\"\"$ ----------(1)

\

$\"\"$ ----------(2)

\

To get two equations that contain opposite terms multiply the first equation by 3 and multiply the second equation by 2. $\"\"$

\

Add the equations to eliminate the y - variable and solve the equation.

\

$\"\"$

\

The resultant equation is $\"\"$ .

\

Divide each side by 22.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

The value of $\"\"$ substitute in either equation to find y.

\

First equation: $\"\"$ .
