Solve for x in the first equation:



Plug that in for x in the second equation:


Distribute the 3:


Combine like terms:


Subtract 69 from both sides


Divide both sides by -11


You know that x=23-3y, so plug in 6 for y:


Simplify


Combine like terms


Answer:
x=5
y=6
(5,6)

x+3y=23 or x=23-3y
3x-2y=3
3(23-3y)-2y=3
69-9y-2y=3
-11y=3-69
-11y=-66
y=-66/-11
y=6 answer.
x=23-3*6
x=23-18
x=5 answer.
Proof:
3*5-2*6=3
15-12=3
3=3
