crosali take it from here

anonymous · Answer

do you understand what is elimination btw?
it is removal of similar terms aka the variable

anonymous · Answer

so when you look at the variable you dont see any thing similar all the numbers are different in both the equations sooo .the thing is you try to make them similar

anonymous · Answer

so you multiply the first one by two and the second equation by 3
then subtract both the equations ...
then you get y=3 then plug that value in the first equation and you get x=-1
there you go the answer is (-1,3)
