Given
$3x - y = 3$ and
$2x + y = 2$

By adding the two equations together, we get
$5x + 0 = 5$
So
$x=1$

Substituting $x=1$ back into the first equation:
$3(1) - y = 3$
which implies
$y= 0$

The solution to the given equations is
$(x,y) = (1,0)$

What is the solution of the system 3x - y = 33x - y = 3 and 2x + y = 22x + y = 2?
