What is the solution to the system of equations? Use the linear combination method. {−2x+y=−173x+y=23 Enter your answer in the boxes. ( , )

The solution is (8, -1).

We can solve this system of equation by elimination. I will subtract the equations to eliminate y.

3x + y = 23
-2x + y = -17

5x = 40
x = 8

Now, plug in 8 for x and you will get -1 for y.
