No problem at all! Getting on it now.

So if you want to eliminate variables, do this. :)

-3x + 2y = 10
6x + 6y = 0

Maybe something you didn't know is that you can multiply one set by a number. Watch this!

2(-3x + 2y) = 2(10)
6x + 6y = 0 [You don't have to multiply this set by 2.]

-6x + 4y = 20
6x + 6y = 0
Set it up like addition!

0x + 10y = 20

= 10y = 20

So you found what y is, after you divide 10y by 10 and 20 by 10. Y = 2! Then use substitution to put it back in and find x.

-3x + 2(2) = 10
6x + 6(2) = 0

So -3x + 4 = 10. Subtract 4 from both sides to cancel it out. This is now -3x = 6. Divide -3x by -3 and 6 by -3 to get x = -2. Yay!!

The values are (-2, 2). :) If you graph it out, you can even see that that is where the lines intersect!!

How cool is that!
