The solution for the system of equations is

$color(blue)(x=5,y=6$

$color(blue)(3x)-2y=3$ .....equation $(1)$

$-x+y =1$ , multiplying by $3$ ,
$-color(blue)(3x)+3y =3$ .....equation $(2)$

Solving by elimination.

Subtracting equation $2$ from $1$

$cancelcolor(blue)(3x)-2y=3$
$-cancelcolor(blue)(3x)+3y =3$

$color(blue)(y=6$

Finding $x$ from equation $1$ :
$3x-2y=3$

$3x=3+2y$

$3x=3+2xx6$

$3x=3+12$

$3x=15$

$x=15/3$

$color(blue)(x=5$

How do you solve the following linear system: 3x-2y=3 , -x+y=1 3x-2y=3 , -x+y=1 ?
