Answer:
(7, 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
x - 3y = - 2 → (1)
x + 3y = 16 → (2)
Adding (1) and (2) term by term will eliminate the y- term
2x + 0 = 14
2x = 14 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 7
Substitute x = 7 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (2)
7 + 3y = 16 ( subtract 7 from both sides )
3y = 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )
y = 3
solution is (7, 3 )
