Answer:
(- 3, 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
x + 3y = 3 → (1)
- 2x + 3y = 12 → (2)
Subtract (1 ) from (2) term by term to eliminate y
- 2x - x + (3y - 3y) = 12 - 3
- 3x = 9 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = - 3
Substitute x = - 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (1)
- 3 + 3y = 3 ( add 3 to both sides )
3y = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )
y = 2
solution is (- 3, 2 )
