Answer:

x= -3 and y = 6

Explanation:

so basically what you are trying to do is reduce into finding x and y

what you do is you want to find a number to multiply one of the equations in order to get the same x or y value does not matter which

so,...

we can do

either 20x or 15y

we will go with the smallest 15y

so for both equations multiply the whole thing by 5 for the first equation and by 3 for the second

5 x 5x+3y=3 --> 1

3 x 4x+5y=18 --> 2

we then get

25x+15y = 15 -->1

12x + 15y = 54 -->2

then now that you have the same Y values you can subtract ! which cancels out both the 15y

25x+15y = 15 -->1

- 12x + 15y = 54 -->2

13x =-39

so now x=-3 and all you have to do with x = -3 is sub this into either one of the equations that you started with !

x = -3

5(-3) +3y =3

-15 + 3y = 3

3y = 3+15

3y=18

y = 6!
