You forgot to put the number after the equal sign on the second equation.

I will assume you meant it to be 22.  So I'll pretend it's this:

         y = 3x
   5x + 2y = 22

Replace the y in the 2nd equation by what y equals in the 1st, namely (3x)

5x + 2(3x) = 22
   5x + 6x = 22
       11x = 22
         x = 2

Substitute (2) for x in y = 3x

         y = 3x
         y = 3(2)
         y = 6
