x-y=3
3x-2y=3 Answer by scianci(186) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Note that the slopes of these equations are 1 and 3/2. Since they are different, the system is independent. Use a linear combination to solve for one of the variables:
2(x - y = 3) --> 2x - 2y = 6
3x - 2y = 3 --> -3x + 2y = -3
-x = -3
x = 3
(3) - y = 3 [using the 1st. equation]
y = 0
Solution is (3 , 0)
