Solve the system of linear equations by using elimination:
2x + 3y = 7
x - 3y = 8

2x + 3y = 7 x - 3y = 8 add the 2 equations and you will eliminate the y...then you can solve for x, then sub. x into 1 of the equation to get y value.

You add the two equations... IE, add the left-sides and the right sides.

terenzreignz · Answer

Well, on the left side, you have 2x + 3y  and  x - 3y
Add those up, and that's the left side of your new equation.  On the right side, you add up
7 and 8
