8x-3y=6
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
8x-3y=6,-\frac{13}{3}x+2y=-3
To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.
8x-3y=6
Choose one of the equations and solve it for x by isolating x on the left hand side of the equal sign.
8x=3y+6
Add 3y to both sides of the equation.
x=\frac{1}{8}\left(3y+6\right)
Divide both sides by 8.
x=\frac{3}{8}y+\frac{3}{4}
Multiply \frac{1}{8} times 6+3y.

y=\frac{2}{3}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{3}{8}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{3}{8}\times \frac{2}{3}+\frac{3}{4}
Substitute \frac{2}{3} for y in x=\frac{3}{8}y+\frac{3}{4}. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.
x=\frac{1+3}{4}
Multiply \frac{3}{8} times \frac{2}{3} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator. Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms if possible.
x=1
Add \frac{3}{4} to \frac{1}{4} by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms if possible.
x=1,y=\frac{2}{3}
The system is now solved.

Put the equations in standard form and then use matrices to solve the system of equations.
\left(\begin{matrix}8&-3\\-\frac{13}{3}&2\end{matrix}\right)\left(\begin{matrix}x\\y\end{matrix}\right)=\left(\begin{matrix}6\\-3\end{matrix}\right)
Write the equations in matrix form.
inverse(\left(\begin{matrix}8&-3\\-\frac{13}{3}&2\end{matrix}\right))\left(\begin{matrix}8&-3\\-\frac{13}{3}&2\end{matrix}\right)\left(\begin{matrix}x\\y\end{matrix}\right)=inverse(\left(\begin{matrix}8&-3\\-\frac{13}{3}&2\end{matrix}\right))\left(\begin{matrix}6\\-3\end{matrix}\right)
Left multiply the equation by the inverse matrix of \left(\begin{matrix}8&-3\\-\frac{13}{3}&2\end{matrix}\right).
\left(\begin{matrix}1&0\\0&1\end{matrix}\right)\left(\begin{matrix}x\\y\end{matrix}\right)=inverse(\left(\begin{matrix}8&-3\\-\frac{13}{3}&2\end{matrix}\right))\left(\begin{matrix}6\\-3\end{matrix}\right)

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
8x-3y=6,-\frac{13}{3}x+2y=-3
In order to solve by elimination, coefficients of one of the variables must be the same in both equations so that the variable will cancel out when one equation is subtracted from the other.
-\frac{13}{3}\times 8x-\frac{13}{3}\left(-3\right)y=-\frac{13}{3}\times 6,8\left(-\frac{13}{3}\right)x+8\times 2y=8\left(-3\right)
To make 8x and -\frac{13x}{3} equal, multiply all terms on each side of the first equation by -\frac{13}{3} and all terms on each side of the second by 8.

Simplify.
-\frac{104}{3}x+\frac{104}{3}x+13y-16y=-26+24
Subtract -\frac{104}{3}x+16y=-24 from -\frac{104}{3}x+13y=-26 by subtracting like terms on each side of the equal sign.
13y-16y=-26+24
Add -\frac{104x}{3} to \frac{104x}{3}. Terms -\frac{104x}{3} and \frac{104x}{3} cancel out, leaving an equation with only one variable that can be solved.
-3y=-26+24
Add 13y to -16y.
-3y=-2
Add -26 to 24.
y=\frac{2}{3}
Divide both sides by -3.
-\frac{13}{3}x+2\times \frac{2}{3}=-3
Substitute \frac{2}{3} for y in -\frac{13}{3}x+2y=-3. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.
-\frac{13}{3}x+\frac{4}{3}=-3
Multiply 2 times \frac{2}{3}.
-\frac{13}{3}x=-\frac{13}{3}
Subtract \frac{4}{3} from both sides of the equation.
x=1
Divide both sides of the equation by -\frac{13}{3}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=1,y=\frac{2}{3}
The system is now solved.
