Solve {l}{x+2+2=-9}{3x+2y=3}

$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { x + 2 + 2 = - 9 } \\ { 3 x + 2 y = 3 } \end{array} \right.$$

Solve for x, y

$$x=-13$$

$$y=21$$

Solution Steps

Consider the first equation. Add 2 and 2 to get 4.

$$x+4=-9$$

Subtract 4 from both sides.

$$x=-9-4$$

Subtract 4 from -9 to get -13.

$$x=-13$$

Consider the second equation. Insert the known values of variables into the equation.

$$3\left(-13\right)+2y=3$$

Multiply 3 and -13 to get -39.

$$-39+2y=3$$

Add 39 to both sides.

$$2y=3+39$$

Add 3 and 39 to get 42.

$$2y=42$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$y=\frac{42}{2}$$

Divide 42 by 2 to get 21.

$$y=21$$

The system is now solved.

$$x=-13 y=21$$
