The solution is #{(x=2),(y=-2):}#

Solve the system of equations as follows :

#{(3x-2y=10........(1)),(5x+3y=4...........(2)):}#

#3xx# Equation #(2)-# #5xx#Equation ##(1)

#<=># #{(3x-2y=10),(0+19y=-38):}#

#<=># #{(3x-2y=10),(y=-2):}#

#<=># #{(3x-2*-2=10),(y=-2):}#

#<=># #{(3x=10-4),(y=-2):}#

#<=># #{(x=2),(y=-2):}#
