\

The system of equations are $\"\"$ .

\

To get two equations that contain opposite terms multiply the first equation by 3.

\

Write the equations in column form and add the equations to eliminate y - variable.

\

$\"\"$

\

The resultant equation is $\"\"$ and solve for x.

\

Divide each side by 13.

\

\

$\"\"$ . $\"\"$

\

Substitute the value of $\"\"$ in either of the original equations and solve for y.

\

The first equation: $\"\"$ .
