Start with the given system of equations:
Multiply the both sides of the first equation by -3.
Distribute and multiply.
Multiply the both sides of the second equation by 2.
Distribute and multiply.
So we have the new system of equations:
Now add the equations together. You can do this by simply adding the two left sides and the two right sides separately like this:
Group like terms.
Combine like terms. Notice how the x terms cancel out.
Simplify.
Divide both sides by to isolate .
Reduce.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Now go back to the first equation.
Plug in .
Multiply.
Remove any zero terms.
Divide both sides by to isolate .
Reduce.
So our answer is and .
Which form the ordered pair )
.
This means that the system is consistent and independent.
Notice when we graph the equations, we see that they intersect at . So this visually verifies our answer.
