Solve the system using elimination.
2x - 6y = 12
3x + 7y = 2
(Simplify your answer. Type an ordered pair.)
Multiplying the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 2, we get:
6x - 18y = 36
6x + 14y = 4
By subtracting the second equation from the first, we can eliminate x:
(6x - 18y) - (6x + 14y) = 36 - 4
-32y = 32
y = -1
Substituting y = -1 into the first equation, we can solve for x:
2x - 6(-1) = 12
2x + 6 = 12
2x = 6
x = 3
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (3, -1).
