therefore color(red)(x=-2 and y=9

Explanation:

3y=15-6x

y=(15-6x)/3

y=5-2x

Put the value of y in eq(2)

8x+2y=2

8x + 2(5-2x)=2

8x +10-4x=2

8x-4x=2-10

4x=-8

color(magenta)(x=-2

Put x=-2 in eq1

3y=15-6x

3y= 15-6(-2)

3y = 15+12

3y= 27

y=27/3

color(magenta)(y=9

therefore color(red)(x=-2 and y=9
