Solve:

Subtract the second equation from the first equation to eliminate the y.
Divide both sides by 4.
Now substitute this value of x into either of the two given equations to solve for y. The second equation will work nicely.
Simplify.
Subtract 1 from both sides.
Multiply both sides by the multiplicative inverse of , that's

The solution is: (1/2, 9)
