Solve the simultaneous equations 3x−2y=27
3x−y=24
x=? y=?
I can do this easily with positives but somehow I just don't understand a bit in negatives, can anyone help?
None of my answers are working.

3x-2y=24 (1)

2x-3y=18 (2)

multiply (1) by 2

6x - 4y = 48

multiply (2) by 3

6x-9y=54

subtracting

6x - 4y = 48

6x - 9y = 54

- + -

5y = -6

x = 7 and y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract equation 1 from 2

3x - 2y = 27

- 3x - y = 24

0 - y = 3

-y = 3

multiply through by minus sign

y = -3

Substitute y = -3 into equation 1

3x - 2(-3) = 27

3x + 6 = 27

collect like terms

3x = 27 - 6

3x = 21

Divide both sides by 3

3x = 21

3 3

x = 7
