Step-by-step explanation:
according to question :-
2x+3y = 18 (eq1)
-7x+9y = 15 (eq2)
now eq1 * 9
9(2x+3y = 18 )
18x + 27y = 162 (eq3)
now eq2 * 3
3(-7x+9y = 15)
-21x+27y = 45 (eq4)
now subtract equation 4 from 3
(18x+27y) - (-21x+27y) = 162-45
18x+27y +21x-27y = 117
39x = 117
x = 117/39 = 3
x = 3
now put value of x in equation 1
2*3 + 3y = 18
3y = 18-6
y = 12/3 = 4
x = 3
y= 4
