Simple system.
X + 3Y = 2
2X - 3Y = 22
------------------------add
3X = 24
X = 8
--------------------now, insert back into one of the equations to find Y
8 + 3Y = 2
3Y = - 6
Y = - 2
----------------check both equations
8 + 3(- 2) = 2
2 = 2
---------------top checks
2(8) - 3(- 2) = 22
16 + 6 = 22
22 = 22
----------------both are consistent, so
X = 8
Y = - 2

2x-11
-2x plus 3y equals 1
2x + 3y = 17 3x + 4y = 24 (2x + 3x) + (3y + 4y) = (17 + 24) 5x + 7y = 41
2x-3y=13
6x plus 3y minus 2x plus 5y equals 4x plus 8y.
