The solution for the system of equations is:
color(blue)(x=1x=1
color(blue)(y=1y=1

Explanation:

2x +y=32x+y=3, multiplying by 22
4x +color(blue)(2y)=64x+2y=6.......equation (1)(1)

5x-color(blue)(2y)=35x2y=3........equation (2)(2)

Solving by elimination

Adding equations (2)(2) and (1 )(1) results in elimination of color(blue)(2y2y

4x +cancelcolor(blue)(2y)=6

5x-cancelcolor(blue)(2y)=3

9x=9

x=9/9

color(blue)(x=1

Finding y from equation 1:
2x +y=3

y=3 - 2x

y=3 - 2 xx 1

y=3 - 2

color(blue)(y=1
