Question

Find a solution to the following system of equations.
−2x + y = −3
−x + 2y = 3

Answer 1

You can solve either for x or y using elimination.

For example, if you multiply the top equation by 2, you’ll get -4x + 2y = -6

Since you now have 2y in both equations, you can subtract the two equations, eliminate y, and solve the resulting equation for x

From there, plug that x back into either equation and solve for y.
