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

Combine like terms on the left side

Subtract 15 from 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
