First, create the matrix, using the coefficients of the terms as the entries, augmented with the solution side:
3 2 | 2
5 -6 | 50
First, divide the first row by 3:
1 2/3 | 2/3
5 -6 | 50
Now, subtract 5 times the first row from the second:
1 2/3 | 2/3
0 -28/3 | 140/3
Multiply the second row by -3/28:
1 2/3 | 2/3
0 1 | -5
Finally, subtract 2/3 row 2 from row 1:
1 0 | 4
0 1 | -5
So, from here, the solution is: x = 4, y = -5
3 2 | 2
5 -6 | 50
