The first equation is x+2y=32

⇒ 2(x+ 2y) = 3 

⇒ 2x+ 4y= 3 ... (1) 

The second equation is 2x+ y= 3. 

⇒ y= 3 − 2x... (2) 

On substituting equation (2) in (1), we get 

2x+ 4y = 3 

⇒ 2x+ 4(3 − 2x) = 3 

⇒ 2x+ 12 − 8x= 3 

⇒ 12 − 6x= 3 

⇒ −6x = 3 − 12 

⇒ −6x = −9 

x=32 

Now using x=32 in equation (2), we get 

y=32×32=0 

Hence, x=32 and y = 0 is the required solution of the given equations.
