straight x over 2 plus fraction numerator 2 straight y over denominator 3 end fraction equals negative 1 space
space straight x minus straight y over 3 equals 3

Considering equation

straight x over 2 plus fraction numerator 2 straight y over denominator 3 end fraction equals negative 1

rightwards double arrow fraction numerator 3 straight x plus 4 straight y over denominator 6 end fraction equals negative 1
rightwards double arrow space 3 straight x plus 4 straight y equals negative 6
and space space space space straight x minus straight y over 3 equals 3
rightwards double arrow fraction numerator 3 straight x minus straight y over denominator 3 end fraction equals 3
rightwards double arrow space 3 straight x minus straight y equals 9

Now, we have following pairs of equations
3x + 4y = - 6    ...(i)
3x -y = 9    ...(ii)
Since the coefficients of ‘x’ in (i) and (ii) are equal. So simply by subtracting we can eliminate the variable i.e., x.

3 x space plus space 4 y space equals space minus 6
3 x space minus space space y space equals space 9
minus space space space space plus space space space space space minus
5 y space equals space minus 15
rightwards double arrow space space space bottom enclose space space space space space space space space y space equals space fraction numerator negative 15 over denominator 5 end fraction space space space end enclose space space
rightwards double arrow space space space space space space space space space space space space space y space equals space minus space 3

Now putting the value ofy in eqn. (i), we get
3x + 4y = - 6
3x + 4(-3) = - 6
⇒    3x - 12 = -6
⇒    3x = 6
⇒    x = 2
Hence, x = 2, y = -3.
Substitution method :
We have,

straight x over 2 plus fraction numerator 2 straight y over denominator 3 end fraction equals negative 1
rightwards double arrow space 3 straight x plus 4 straight y space equals space minus 6
and space space space space straight x minus straight y over 3 equals 3
rightwards double arrow space 3 straight x space minus space straight y space equals space 9

Now, we have following pairs of equations
3x + 4y = -6    ...(i)
3x - y = 9    ...(ii)
From (ii), we have
3x - y = 9
⇒    y = 3x - 9    ...(iii)
Substituting the value of (iii) in (i), we get
3x + 4y = -6
⇒ 3x + 4(3x - 9) = -6
⇒ 3x + 12x - 36 = -6
⇒    15x = -6 + 36
⇒    15x = 30
⇒    x = 2
Now, substituting the value ofx in (iii), we get
y = 3x - 9
= 3(2) - 9 = 6 - 9= -3
Hence, x = 2, y = -3.
