Answer:


x=(48)/(7)\\ y=-(10)/(7)

Explanation:


5x+3y=30\\3x+6y=12

Let's solve the second equation for x


3x+6y=12\\3x=12-6y\\x=(12-6y)/(3)

Now let's replace this in the first equation.


5x+3y=30\\5((12-6y)/(3))+3y=30

Distribute the 5


(60-30y)/(3)+3y=30

Individually solve the fractions.


(60)/(3)-(30)/(3)y+3y=30

Solve;


20-10y+3y=30\\20-7y=30

Subtract 20 from both sides.


20-20-7y=30-20\\-7y=10

Divide both sides by -7


(-7y)/(-7)=(10)/(-7)


y=-(10)/(7)

Now replace the value of y in any of the two equations to find x.


3x+6y=12\\3x+6(-(10)/(7))=12


3x-(60)/(7)=12\\

add
(60)/(7) on both sides.


3x-(60)/(7)+(60)/(7) =12+(60)/(7)


3x=((12)(7)+60)/(7)


3x=(84+60)/(7)\\ 3x=(144)/(7)

Multiply by the reciprocal fraction of 3. I suppose you know that 3 is 3/1 hence the inverted fraction would be 1/3


((1)/(3))(3x)=((144)/(7))((1)/(3))


x=(48)/(7)
