Find X and Y if 2X + 3Y = and 3X + 2Y = .

Given 2x + 3y = ….1

and 3x + 2y = ...2


Adding 1 and 3 equations we get,



5x + 5y =



Dividing both the sides by 5


x + y = …3


Now subtracting 1 from 2



X – y = ……4


Adding 3 and 4



2x =


X =


Subtracting 4 from 3



2y =


Y =


Hence x = = and y =
