hi need help

anonymous · Answer

you can solve this by using simultaneous equation
but first you need to make one of the terms either x or y  from both the top and bottom equation equal

anonymous · Answer

you can do these by multiplying the top equation by 2
and the bottom by 3
so this make your y variable 6y

anonymous · Answer

thereafter eliminate by subtracting
so it should look like this

anonymous · Answer

ok
