How to do this math problem, using elimination method, needs a process.
x- 17=3(y-2) ( 1)

3x=2y (2)

Solution:

Y=65438+ 0.5x from (2)

Substitute y= 1.5x into (1) to get x- 17=3( 1.5x-2).

X- 17=4.5x-6。

The solution is x=-22/7.

Substitution y=-33/7

So the solution of the equation is x=-22/7 and y=-33/7.
