x+2y=9

-3x-2y=-7 (subtract the bottom equation so u can eliminate the 2y)

-2x=2 (this is wut u get after elimination)

x=-1 (plug this back into either equation)

x+2y=9

-1+2y=9

2y=10

y=5

next time be specific.

is this an elimination by addition or by substitution?

x+2y=9

x=9-2y <--- tada! the value of x 3(9-2y)+2y=7 -- after substitution, then use distribution 27-6y+2y=7 27-4y=7 -4y=7-27 -4y=-20 y=-20/-4 y=5

(3x+2y)-(x+2y)=7-9

3x-x=7-9

2x=7-9

2x=-2

x=-2/2

x=

9- -1=2y

10=2y

y=
