Solve the equation
3x+2y=17
-2x-y=-12

(7,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+2y=17

-2x-y=-12

Multiply the second equation by 2 so we can eliminate y

2( -2x-y=-12)   becomes -4x-2y = -24

Add this to the first equation

3x+2y=17

-4x-2y=-24

-x = -7

Multiply each side by -1

x = 7

Substitute back into the first equation to find y

3(7) +2y = 17

21 +2y = 17

Subtract 21 from each side

21-21 +2y = 17-21

2y = -4

Divide each side by 2

2y/2 = -4/2

y =-2
