We can solve the given system of linear equations like this:

1. Solve for x from the first equation

1x + 25y = 149

x + 25y = 149

x + 25y - 25y = 149 - 25y

x = 149 - 25y

2. Replace 149 - 25y for x into the second equation and solve for y.

3(149 - 25y) - 6y = -39

3×149 - 3×25y - 6y = -39

447 - 75y - 6y = -39

447 - 81y = -39

447 - 447 - 81y = -39 - 447

-81y = -486

y = -486/-81

y = 6

Then, y = 6. By replacing 6 for y into x = 149 - 25y, we get:

x = 149 - 25y

x = 149 - 25(6)

x = 149 - 150

x = -1

Then, the solution to the given system of equations is (-1, 6)
