Given the systems of linear equation:

3x - 2y = -39x + 2y = 35

This can be written as,

3x - 2y = -39x + 2y - 35

Solve using elimination.

Solution:

In order to solve using elimination, we simply need to transpose 3x - 2y to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a  number, the sign changes.

3x - 2y = -39x  + 2y - 35

= -39x  + 2y - 35 - 3x + 2y

= -36x + 4y - 35

FInal answer:

= -36x + 4y - 35
