Find the solution to the system by LINEAR COMBINATION:

4x + 3y = (-2)
3x + 2y = (-3)

4x + 3y = (-2)   [1]
3x + 2y = (-3)   [2]

Okay let's start by getting rid of the x variable

3*[1], 12x + 9y = (-6)    [3]
4*[2], 12x + 8y = (-12)  [4]

Now we are going [3]-[4]

9y-8y=-6-(-12)
       y=-6+12
         =6

Then sub y=6 back into either [1] or [2]

3x+2*6=-3
 3x+12=-3
        3x=-15
          x=-5

So x=-5 and y=6
