To solve this system of equations by elimination, we want to eliminate one variable by manipulating the equations and then adding or subtracting them together.
In this case, looking at the coefficients of x, we can see that if we multiply equation i by 3 and equation ii by 2, the coefficients of x will be the same and opposite in sign.
Therefore, the best way to begin is to multiply equation i by 3 and equation ii by 2:
i. 2x + y = -3 (multiply by 3)
ii. 3x - 2y = 2 (multiply by 2)
This will allow us to add the two equations together and eliminate the x variable.
