Let's take the example: 3(x + 2) + 2(x - 1)

Start with the first part: 3(x + 2)

We have to multiply what is outside of the bracket with the indivi...

2x - 6y = 18

4x + 3y = 6

First, make either the x or y the same value by multiplying the equations. Let's choose x.

2x - 6y = 18      x2

4x + 3y = 6     ...
