Step 1: Start by rewriting each equation to eliminate the fractions. For the first equation, multiply both sides by the least common denominator (LCD) of 3 and 2, which is 6, to clear the denominators.
Step 2: After multiplying, simplify the resulting equation by distributing and combining like terms. This will give you a linear equation in terms of x and y without fractions.
Step 3: For the second equation, multiply both sides by the LCD of 2 and 3, which is 6, to clear the denominators. Then simplify by distributing and combining like terms.
Step 4: Now you have a system of two linear equations without fractions. Use either substitution or elimination method to solve for x and y. For elimination, align the equations and add or subtract them to eliminate one variable.
Step 5: Once one variable is eliminated, solve for the remaining variable. Substitute this value back into one of the original simplified equations to find the value of the other variable.
