To solve for the solution of this system of linear equation, it is best to use substitution. From the first equation, x = 3y
Substituting the expression on the right for the value of x on the second equation,
-2(3y) + 3y = 16
Solving for the value of y gives y = -5 1/3
With this value of y, solving for x gives x = -16
Thus, the solution for this system of linear equation is (-16, -5 1/3)
