<PRE><B>Question 36680</B>
Hello, the first thing you need to do is:
Multiply the first equation by 2
    2(3y-2x=4) which gives 6y-4x=8
&lt;p&gt;
then solve:
     6y-4x=8   
     2y+4x=8     
4x cancels out
&lt;p&gt;
You now have:
     6y=8
     2y=8   
    --------     Add like terms
     8y=16
&lt;p&gt;
Now divide by 8
&lt;p&gt;
     8y = 16
     --------
        8
&lt;p&gt;
     y=8
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
to check you answer just plug in the numbers. 
&lt;p&gt;
