Answer:
x = 9, y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x-2y=-24 (EQ 1)
-3x-2y=-33 (EQ 2)
Combining terms we means we either add or subtract the equations in order to eliminate a x or y terms. Simply choose a equation and change it to it's opposite (ex. -3 becomes 3.)
Let's try swapping EQ 1
2x + 2y = 24
(Simply add similar variables and numbers like you would a addition problem.)
-3x-2y=-33
-x = -9
x = 9
Now plug that into one of your equations to get y.
-2(9) -2y = -24
-18 -2y = -24
(Add 18 to both sides.)
-2y = -6
y = 3
