x = 5, y = -1
10 - (3y + 2) = 2 First solve the bracket: 10 - 3y + 2 = 2 Bring all constants to one side: 10 + 2 - 2 = 3y Simplify: 10 = 3y y = 31/3 (3.33333333333)
7y = 3y - 12 4y = -12 y = -3
x + y = -2 2x + 3y = -9 You solve this by elimination - multiply both sides of first equation by 3, then subtract, solve for x, then substitute in any of the equations to solve for y 3x + 3y = -6 2x + 3y = -9 subtracting, x = 3 substituting into 1st equation, y = -2-3 = -5
To solve for 2 unknown variables you need 2 independent equations. You have only 1.
