Question 984807: What is the solution to the following system of equations?
3x − y = 2
6x + 2y = 5

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Multiply the first equation by 2 and add to the second to eliminate y.
6x-2y%2B6x%2B2y=4%2B5
12x=9
Now solve for x.
Then go back and use either equation to solve for y.
