Answer

\begin{aligned} 3x-2y &= 4 \\[0.5em] 3\left(\dfrac{11}{5}\right) - 2y &= 4 \\[0.5em] 2y &= 3\left(\dfrac{11}{5}\right) - 4 \\[0.5em] y &= -1 \end{aligned}

Steps

Step 1 :Add the two equations together to eliminate y:

Step 2 :\begin{aligned} 3x-2y+2x+3y &= 4+7 \\[0.5em] 5x &= 11 \\[0.5em] x &= \dfrac{11}{5} \end{aligned}

Step 3 :Substitute x back into one of the original equations to solve for y:

Step 4 :\begin{aligned} 3x-2y &= 4 \\[0.5em] 3\left(\dfrac{11}{5}\right) - 2y &= 4 \\[0.5em] 2y &= 3\left(\dfrac{11}{5}\right) - 4 \\[0.5em] y &= -1 \end{aligned}
