Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: x = 7 and y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x +3y = 8 ----------------(1)

x-y = 9 ----------------------(2)

multiply (2) by 2

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

subtract (2) from (3)

-5y = 10

Divide bothside by -5

y = -2

Similarly, multiply (2) by 3

3x-3y = 27-----------------------(4)

add (1) and (4) together

5x = 35

Divide bothside by 5

x= 7

Therefore, x =7 and y= -2
