You want to eliminate 1variable.
Multiply the 1st equation by 3
9x + 6y = 72
Multiply the 2nd equation by -2
-4x - 6y +-52
Combine the two equations to get 5x =20 or x = 4
Replace x with 4 in either of the original equations to find y.
Then you should check in both equations.
Sole the following system of equation by elimination
3x+2y=24
2x+3y=26
