Write Equations: First, let's write down the system of equations:2x+y−3x−y=3, 3x+2y−4x−2y=3
Solve First Equation: Now, let's solve the first equation for x and y:2x+y−3x−y=3To clear the fractions, multiply everything by the least common multiple of 2 and 3, which is 6:6(2x+y)−6(3x−y)=6×3
Simplify First Equation: Simplify the equation: 3(x+y)−2(x−y)=18
Combine Terms: Distribute the 3 and the 2:3x+3y−2x+2y=18
Solve Second Equation: Combine like terms: x+5y=18
Simplify Second Equation: Now, let's solve the second equation for x and y:3x+2y−4x−2y=3To clear the fractions, multiply everything by the least common multiple of 3 and 4, which is 12:12(3x+2y)−12(4x−2y)=12×3
Combine Terms: Simplify the equation: 4(x+2y)−3(x−2y)=36
Combine Terms: Simplify the equation:4(x+2y)−3(x−2y)=36Distribute the 4 and the 3:4x+8y−3x+6y=36
Combine Terms: Simplify the equation:4(x+2y)−3(x−2y)=36Distribute the 4 and the 3:4x+8y−3x+6y=36Combine like terms:x+14y=36Oops, made a mistake while combining the terms. It should be:x+14y=36 should be x+14y=36, but I accidentally added the y's wrong. It should be 4x+8y−3x−6y=36, which simplifies to x+2y=36.
