Let’s solve each system of linear equations one by one to find the correct ordered pair (x, y) that satisfies both equations in the system.

---

System 1:
2x + y = 7
3x - y = 3

Add the two equations to eliminate y:
(2x + y) + (3x - y) = 7 + 3 → 5x = 10 → x = 2
Plug x = 2 into first equation: 2(2) + y = 7 → 4 + y = 7 → y = 3
✔ Solution: (2, 3)

---

System 2:
x - y = 4
x + y = 2

Add the two equations:
(x - y) + (x + y) = 4 + 2 → 2x = 6 → x = 3
Plug x = 3 into second equation: 3 + y = 2 → y = -1
✔ Solution: (3, -1)

---

System 3:
2x + 3y = 8
3x + y = 5

Solve second equation for y: y = 5 - 3x
Substitute into first equation:
2x + 3(5 - 3x) = 8 → 2x + 15 - 9x = 8 → -7x = -7 → x = 1
Then y = 5 - 3(1) = 2
✔ Solution: (1, 2)

---

System 4:
2x - 3y = 8
2x + 3y = 4

Add the two equations:
(2x - 3y) + (2x + 3y) = 8 + 4 → 4x = 12 → x = 3
Plug x = 3 into second equation: 2(3) + 3y = 4 → 6 + 3y = 4 → 3y = -2 → y = -2/3
✔ Solution: (3, -2/3)

---

System 5:
5x + y = 15
3x + 2y = 9

Solve first equation for y: y = 15 - 5x
Substitute into second:
3x + 2(15 - 5x) = 9 → 3x + 30 - 10x = 9 → -7x = -21 → x = 3
Then y = 15 - 5(3) = 0
✔ Solution: (3, 0)

---

System 6:
-x + 2y = 10
x - 3y = -13

Add the two equations:
(-x + 2y) + (x - 3y) = 10 + (-13) → -y = -3 → y = 3
Plug y = 3 into second equation: x - 3(3) = -13 → x - 9 = -13 → x = -4
✔ Solution: (-4, 3)

---

System 7:
2x - 3y = 0
-2x + 2y = -2

Add the two equations:
(2x - 3y) + (-2x + 2y) = 0 + (-2) → -y = -2 → y = 2
Plug y = 2 into first equation: 2x - 3(2) = 0 → 2x = 6 → x = 3
✔ Solution: (3, 2)

Wait — let me double-check this. If x=3, y=2:
First equation: 2(3) - 3(2) = 6 - 6 = 0 ✔
Second: -2(3) + 2(2) = -6 + 4 = -2 ✔
Yes, correct. But look at the answer choices — we already have (3,2) from System 7? Wait no — actually, let’s check System 8 too.

Actually, wait — I think I made a mistake here. Let me recheck System 7 and 8 carefully.

Hold on — System 7 is:

2x - 3y = 0
-2x + 2y = -2

We got (3,2). But let’s see if that matches any other system? No, it’s unique.

But now System 8:

System 8:
y = 3x + 6
2y = -3x + 3

Substitute first into second:
2(3x + 6) = -3x + 3 → 6x + 12 = -3x + 3 → 9x = -9 → x = -1
Then y = 3(-1) + 6 = 3
✔ Solution: (-1, 3)

So System 7 gives (3,2), System 8 gives (-1,3)

Now let’s list all solutions again clearly:

1. (2,3)
2. (3,-1)
3. (1,2)
4. (3, -2/3)
5. (3,0)
6. (-4,3)
7. (3,2) ← Wait, but earlier I thought System 7 was (3,2), but let me verify with substitution again.

Wait — hold on! In System 7:

Equation 1: 2x - 3y = 0
Equation 2: -2x + 2y = -2

If I add them: (2x - 2x) + (-3y + 2y) = 0 - 2 → -y = -2 → y = 2
Then plug into Eq1: 2x - 3(2) = 0 → 2x = 6 → x = 3 → (3,2) ✔

But now looking at the answer boxes, there is a green box labeled (2,3) — which we assigned to System 1.

And purple box (3,2) — which should go to System 7.

But wait — let me check if I mixed up Systems 1 and 7?

No — System 1: 2x+y=7, 3x-y=3 → solved to (2,3) ✔
System 7: 2x-3y=0, -2x+2y=-2 → solved to (3,2) ✔

All good.

Now let’s match each system to its solution:

Top left: System 1 → (2,3) → green box
Top right: System 2 → (3,-1) → orange box
Middle left: System 3 → (1,2) → light blue box
Middle right: System 4 → (3, -2/3) → dark blue box
Bottom left top: System 5 → (3,0) → red box
Bottom left bottom: System 6 → (-4,3) → pink box
Bottom right top: System 7 → (3,2) → purple box
Bottom right bottom: System 8 → (-1,3) → red-orange box? Wait, there are two red boxes?

Looking back at the image description:

Boxes:

Red: (3,0)
Pink: (-4,3)
Red: (-1,3) ← another red? Or maybe different shade?
Purple: (3,2)
Orange: (3,-1)
Blue: (3,-2/3)
Green: (2,3)
Light blue: (1,2)

So:

System 1 → (2,3) → Green
System 2 → (3,-1) → Orange
System 3 → (1,2) → Light Blue
System 4 → (3, -2/3) → Dark Blue
System 5 → (3,0) → Red (first red)
System 6 → (-4,3) → Pink
System 7 → (3,2) → Purple
System 8 → (-1,3) → Second Red (or maybe it's labeled differently — but in text it says “(-1,3)” in a red box)

In the user’s image description, it lists:

[ (3,0) ] — red
[ (-4,3) ] — pink
[ (-1,3) ] — red (another red?)
[ (3,2) ] — purple
[ (3,-1) ] — orange
[ (3,-2/3) ] — blue
[ (2,3) ] — green
[ (1,2) ] — light blue

So yes, two red boxes: one for (3,0), one for (-1,3)

Final matching:

- Top-left system (2x+y=7, 3x−y=3) → (2,3) → Green
- Top-right system (x−y=4, x+y=2) → (3,−1) → Orange
- Middle-left system (2x+3y=8, 3x+y=5) → (1,2) → Light Blue
- Middle-right system (2x−3y=8, 2x+3y=4) → (3, −2/3) → Blue
- Bottom-left-top system (5x+y=15, 3x+2y=9) → (3,0) → Red (first)
- Bottom-left-bottom system (−x+2y=10, x−3y=−13) → (−4,3) → Pink
- Bottom-right-top system (2x−3y=0, −2x+2y=−2) → (3,2) → Purple
- Bottom-right-bottom system (y=3x+6, 2y=−3x+3) → (−1,3) → Red (second)

All verified.

Final Answer:
Top-left → (2,3)
Top-right → (3,-1)
Middle-left → (1,2)
Middle-right → (3,-2/3)
Bottom-left-top → (3,0)
Bottom-left-bottom → (-4,3)
Bottom-right-top → (3,2)
Bottom-right-bottom → (-1,3)
