Answer:

x = 2 and y = -1

Explanation:

simplify the first equation by dividing each term by -2

x - 3y = 5

now you can add this to 4x + 3y = 5 and the 'y-values' will be eliminated and you will have:

5x = 10

x = 2

substitute '2' for 'x' to solve for 'y':

-2(2) + 6y = -10

-4 + 6y = -10

6y = -6

y = -1
