5x � 3y = �11
2x � 6y = �14
------------ Multiply eqn 1 by 2
10x �6y = �22
2x � 6y = �14
-------------- Subtract
8x = -8

Solve one of the two equations for x in terms of y. The first equation 5x-3y=-11 would be -3y=-11-5x --> -y=-(11/3)-(5/3)x --> y=(11/3)+(5/3)x. now for the other equation plug this equation in for y and solve for x, from there you will have only one variable and you can solve for y.
