Question

Solve the system of linear equations.
2x - 3y = 18

Answer 1

Answer:

x = (18 + 3y)/2 y = (18 - 2x)/3

Step-by-step explanation:

For whichever variable you want to solve for, isolate it on one side. For example, if you want to solve for x, first add 3y to each side.

2x = 18 + 3y

Then, divide everything by two.

x = (18 + 3y)/2

Answer 2

2x - 3y = 18
+3. +3
2x = 21
2. 2
X = 10.5
