Answer

Finally, simplify the equation: \(12 = 12\).

Steps

Step 1 :First, substitute \(x = 3\) into the equation: \(2*3 + 3y = 12\), which simplifies to \(6 + 3y = 12\).

Step 2 :Next, substitute \(y = 2\) into the equation: \(6 + 3*2 = 12\), which simplifies to \(6 + 6 = 12\).

Step 3 :Finally, simplify the equation: \(12 = 12\).
