helppp pleasee

pfenn1 · Answer

$$3x + 2y = 6$$$$2x + 3y = −1 $$Solve one of the equations for y in terms of x ans substitute it into the other equation and solve for x.

*and

pfenn1 · Answer

2y=6-3x$$y=\frac {6-3x}{2}$$

pfenn1 · Answer

$$2x+3\left( \frac{6-3x}{2} \right)=-1$$Can you solve it from here?

i dont get this i'm supostu to do this by eliminetion method.

pfenn1 · Answer

This is the elimination method.  We "eliminated" the y from the second equation by substituting  the expression for y we found from the first equation.

I took the first equation and subtracted 3x from both sides, then divided both sides by 2.
