please let em know how to fix this i m confused problem 1 3x – 2y = 8 x = 2 substitute the second part x=2 into the first part 3(2)-2y=8 6-2y=8 -2y=2 y=-1 then plug -1 in for y and solve for x 3x-2(-1)=8 3x+2=8 3x=6 x=2 check step 3x-2y=8 x=2 3(2)-2(-1)=8 3x2=6 -2x-1=2 6+2=8 All final answers must be given in the format of an ordered pair. (x, y) Problem 2 2x-y=-4 -3x+y=-9 Solve for y in the first equation 2x -y = -4 -y = -4 -2x y= 4+2x Substitute into second equation -3x+(4+2x) = -9 Simplify/Combine like terms/Solve for x -3x +4 +2x =-9 -x +

Okay, what you can do for problem 2 is this: \[-3x+y=9\] \[y=3x-9\] So start substituting like you did the first part
