Answer:
(7,-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+2y=17
-2x-y=-12
Multiply the second equation by 2 so we can eliminate y
2( -2x-y=-12) becomes -4x-2y = -24
Add this to the first equation
3x+2y=17
-4x-2y=-24
----------------
-x = -7
Multiply each side by -1
x = 7
Substitute back into the first equation to find y
3(7) +2y = 17
21 +2y = 17
Subtract 21 from each side
21-21 +2y = 17-21
2y = -4
Divide each side by 2
2y/2 = -4/2
y =-2

Answer:
x = 7, y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}3x+2y=17&(1)\\-2x-y=-12&(2)\end{array}\right\\\\(2)\\-2x-y=-12\qquad\text{add 2x to both sides}\\-y=2x-12\qquad\text{change the signs}\\y=-2x+12\qquad\text{substitute it to (1):}\\\\3x+2(-2x+12)=17\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\3x+(2)(-2x)+(2)(12)=17\\3x-4x+24=17\qquad\text{subtract 24 from both sides}\\-x=-7\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\boxed{x=7}\\\\\text{Put the value of x to (2):}\\\\y=-2(7)+12\\y=-14+12\\\boxed{y=-2}[/tex]
