Solve 3x - 2y = 10 and x + 3y = 7 simultaneously
x = -4 and y = 1
x = -1 and y = -4
x = 1 and y = 4
x = 4 and y = 1

Explanation

3x - 2y = 10 - - x 3

x + 3y = 7 ---x 2

------------------------

9x - 6y = 30

2x + 6y = 14

-------------------------

\(\frac{11x}{11} \frac{44}{11}\) 

x = 4

From x + 3y = 7

3y = 7 - 4

\(\frac{3y}{3}\) = \(\frac{3}{3}\)

y = 1
