Answer:
3x+2y=36 Subtracting 3x from both sides and then dividing both sides by 2 gives us: y=18-1.5x We then substitute this into the second equation, in place of y. Giving us: 5x+4(18-1.5x)=64 Multiplying out of the brackets gives us.

Answer:
x = 8, y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 2y = 36 (1)
5x + 4y = 64 (2)
1 x 2:
6x + 4y = 72 (3)
(3) - (2) :
x = 8
Substituting x=8 in (1):
24 + 2y = 36
2y = 12
y = 6
