1) x+2y=10 -> 2x+4y=20
SSS
x=6
6+4y=14
4y=8
y=2

Same method for the rest, just do some multiplication on each one to make either the y or the x equal. If they’re the same sign (pos or neg) use SSS (same sign subtract), if not use DSA (different sign add). You may need to move some of the equations around first^^
