The system of equations are .

Neither variable has a common coefficient.The coefficient  of the y - variables are 1 and 2 and their least common multiple is 2, so multiply each equation by the value  that will make the y - coefficient 2.

To get two equations that contain opposite terms multiply the first equation by 2.

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

The resultant equation is and solve for x.

Divide each side by 11.

Cancel common terms.

.

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

The equation 1: .

.

Subtract from each side.

Multiply each side by negative 1.

.

The solution is .
