Answer:
(2, 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the system of equation
3x+2y=22 … *4
-4x+3y=16 …. *3
Using the elimination method
12x + 8y = 88
-12x + 9y = 48
Add
8y + 9y = 88+48
17y = 136
y = 136/17
y = 8
Recall that
3x+2y=22
3x+2(8)=22
3x + 16 = 22
3x = 22-16
3x = 6
x = 6/3
x = 2
Hence the required solution (x, y) is (2, 8)
