Answer:

  (x, y) = (12, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

I find the simplest solution is often found using a graphing calculator.

  (x, y) = (12, -1)

__

We notice that the coefficients of x are identical, so we can eliminate x by subtracting the first equation from the second.

  (x +3y) -(x -2y) = (9) -(14)

  5y = -5 . . . . simplify

  y = -1 . . . . . divide by 5

  x = 14 +2y = 14 +2(-1) . . . . using the first equation to find x

  x = 12
