Answer:

x=4 and y=5

Explanation:

Find x by adding the two equations so that the 6y and -6y will cancel out.

You're left with 6x=24 which you divide 6 on both sides to get x=4.

Then to find y you will plug 4 into either equation for x. I chose the second equation, so 4-6y=-26, get -6y alone by subtracting the 4 over to the other side. then -6y=-30, then divide both sides by -6 and you get y=5.
