So the system is: [tex] 2s-3c=-6\\ s+2c=11 [/tex]
For this, I will be using the substitution method. So firstly, subtract 2c on both sides of the second equation: [tex] 2s-3c=-6\\ s=11-2c [/tex]
Next, substitute s in the first equation for (11-2c) and solve for c:
[tex] 2(11-2c)-3c=-6\\ 22-4c-3c=-6\\ 22-7c=-6\\ -7c=-28\\ c=4 [/tex]
Now that we know the value of c, replace c with its value and solve for s in either equation:
[tex] s+2(4)=11\\ s+8=11\\ s=3\\ \\ 2s-3(4)=-6\\ 2s-12=-6\\ 2s=6\\ s=3 [/tex]
In short, c = 4 and s = 3.
