Elimination method:

first, Rearrange the second equation:

2x+3y=0

6x-5y=0

Multiply the first equation by 3:

6x+9y=0

6x-5y=0

Subtract the second equation to the first one:

6x+9y=0

-

6x-5y=0

_________

14y=0

Solve the result for Y:

14y=0

y=0

Replace the value of y on any equation:

6x-5y=0

6x-5(0)=0

6x=0

x=0

Solution:

x,y = (0,0)
