Use the information in the first equation and plug it into (substitute it into) the second one.

Now simply and solve for x

Divide both sides by 11

Now that you have solved for x, substitute that value for x back into the first equation and solve for y

Now check you answer using the second equation

which is true so x=2 and y=6 are the answers
