First, let's multiply the first equation by 3 to align the coefficients of \(x\) for easier elimination: \[ 3(2x + 3y) = 3(-2) \implies 6x + 9y = -6 \] Now we have the following system: \[ \begin{array}{l} 6x + 9y = -6 \\ 3x - 6y = 18 \\ \end{array} \] Next, we can multiply the second equation by 2 to match the \(x\) coefficients: \[ 2(3x - 6y) = 2(18) \implies 6x - 12y = 36 \] Now our system looks like this: \[ \begin{array}{l} 6x + 9y = -6 \\ 6x - 12y = 36 \\ \end{array} \] Next, we subtract the first equation from the second equation: \[ (6x - 12y) - (6x + 9y) = 36 - (-6) \] This simplifies to: \[ -12y - 9y = 36 + 6 \] \[ -21y = 42 \] \[ y = -2 \] Now that we have the value for \(y\), we can substitute it back into one of the original equations to find \(x\). Let's use the first equation: \[ 2x + 3(-2) = -2 \] \[ 2x - 6 = -2 \] \[ 2x = 4 \] \[ x = 2 \] Thus, the solution to the system of equations is: \[ (2, -2) \]
