3x - 2y = 6
2x + y = 11
Solve for y in the second equation: y = 11 - 2x
Substitute this value of y into the first equation:
3x - 2(11 - 2x) = 6
Solve for x: 3x - 22 + 4x = 6
7x = 28
x = 4
Use the equation that gives y to solve for y by substituting in the x-value: y = 11 - 2(4)
= 11 - 8
= 3
Solution: (4,3)

3x-2y=6
x=(6+2y)/3
if the x value is only in the whole nos, then ...
if y=3, then x=4
if y=6,then x=6
y should be a multiple of 3 to get the x in the whole nos.

3x - 2y = 6
3x = 2y + 6
x = (2/3)y + 2

3x-2y=6
3x=6+2y
x=6+2y/3
hence x=6+2y/3

y=3
x=4
3(X) - 2(Y) = 3(4) -2(3) = 6
12 - 6 = 6
i swear i've answered this in college before, must be right..is it?

3x-2y=6
Add 2y to both sides, which will eliminate -2y and isolate 3x.
3x=2y-6
divide both sides by 3
x=2y/3-2
If I remember correctly.
