1)3x-y=7

2)2x-y=8

2) * (-1) so it becomes

1)3x-y=7

2)-2x+y=-8

1)+ 2) so it becomes

3x=(-2x)-y+y=7+(-8)

x= -15 that meens y=8+2x=8-30=-22

Improved Answer:

3x-y = 7

2x+y = 8

Add both equations together:

5x = 15

x = 3

Substitute the value of x into the equations to find the value of y:

x = 3 and y = 2
