First Step.
-Isolate one variable for either equation.
add 5x to both sides
divide both sides by 3
Second Step.
-Plug in isolated variable into second equation.
"foil" or multiply the second term
use common denomenator of 3. multiply
combine like terms and simplify
subtract 40 from both sides
divide both sides by -2 and simplify
