\

The equations are

\

\"\"                    Equation (1)

\

\"\"                  Equation (2)

\

Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 3.

\

Then subtract the equations to eliminate the c variable.

\

\"\"    (Subtract the corresponding columns)\"\"

\

Apply division property of equality: if a = b, then\"\".

\

\"\"                (Divide each side by negative 32)

\

\"\"                         (Cancel common terms)

\

\"\"                              (Divide: \"\")\"\"

\

Substitute \"\" in equation (2).
