2x-3y=84x+3y=-2 Since 2x does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 2x from both sides. -3y=-2x Divide each term in the equation by -3. -(3y)/(-3)=-(2x)/(-3) Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors. Y=-(2x)/(-3) Simplify the right-hand side of the … Read more
