2x-3y =18
5x +3y =3
---------
Add to solve for "x":
7x = 21
x = 3
---------
Substitute into 5x + 3y = 3 to solve for "y":
5*3 + 3y = 3
15 + 3y = 3
3y = -12
y = -4
------------
Solution: (3,-4)

Answer by uday1435(57)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2x - 3y = 18
5x + 3y = 3
------------ Adding these eqns we get
7x = 21
Dividing both sides by 7 we get
x = 21/7 = 3
Substitutig the value of x in the first equation we get
2(3) - 3y = 18
6 - 3y = 18 subtracting 6 from both sides of this equation we have
- 3y = 18 - 6 = 12 Dividig both sides by - 3 we get
- 3y / (-3) = 12/ (-3)
y = - 4
so x = 3 and y = -4 are the solution

Just add these together


Then substitute this back into
either equation


Add to both sides

Subtract from both sides



The answer is (3,-4)
