x=23/13, y=-28/13x=2313,y=2813

Explanation:

3x+2y=13x+2y=1 equation (1)
2x-3y=102x3y=10 equation (2)

From (2): 2x=3y+10 => x=(3y+10)/22x=3y+10x=3y+102

Substitute x=(3y+10)/2x=3y+102 into (1);

3((3y+10)/2)+2y=13(3y+102)+2y=1

3(3y+10)+4y=23(3y+10)+4y=2

9y+30+4y=29y+30+4y=2

13y=-2813y=28

y=-28/13y=2813

Substitute y=-28/13y=2813 into x=(3y+10)/2x=3y+102:

x=(3(-28/13)+10)/2=23/13x=3(2813)+102=2313
