Question 641351

Hi, my name is Will and I am having a hard time solving systems of linear equations particularly this problem:
3x+2y=2
-2x+y=8


{{{system(3x + 2y = 2_____eq(i), - 2x + y = 8 ____ eq_(ii))}}}


If you choose to solve it by substitution, then solve for y in eq (ii), and then substitute that value in eq (i). This will give you the value of x. Substitute the x-value in any of the 2 equations to obtain your y-value.


If you choose to use elimination, then just multiply eq (ii) by - 2, and add this new equation to eq (i). This will give you the value of x. Substitute the x-value in any of the 2 equations to obtain your y-value.
