\[\left[\begin{matrix}2 & 1 &2 \\ 3 & 2 & 7\end{matrix}\right]\]Multiply row 1 by 3/2 \[\left[\begin{matrix}3 & \frac{3}{2} &3 \\ 3 & 2 & 7\end{matrix}\right]\]Subtract row one from row 2 \[\left[\begin{matrix}3 & \frac{3}{2} &3 \\ 0 & \frac{1}{2} & 4\end{matrix}\right]\]this gives \(\frac{y}{2}=4 \) so \(y=8\) \[3x+\frac{3}{2}y=3\]\[3x+\frac{24}{2}=3\]\[3x=-9\]\[x=-3\]
