Hi

3x-y=2   |multiplying thru by -2 to  eliminate the y variable by adding the Eqs

5x-2y=6



-6x+2y=-4   |ADDing the two EQuations together

5x-2y=6  

 -x = 2

  x = -2  and y = -8   3%2A%28-2%29-2 Substituting x = -2 in to the 1st EQ to find y

Ordered Pair(-2,-8) the Solution for this system of Equations
