Start with the given system

Plug in into the first equation. In other words, replace each with . Notice we've eliminated the variables. So we now have a simple equation with one unknown.

Distribute the negative

Combine like terms on the left side

Add 10 to both sides

Combine like terms on the right side

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

Divide

Now that we know that , we can plug this into to find

Substitute for each

Simplify

So our answer is and
