Since you can't solve either one of them individually, except for one of the variables in terms of the other, I have to presume that you really meant to ask, "Please help me solve this system of equations."
Multiply the second equation by -1:
Add this new equation term by term to the original first equation:
Substitute this calculated value for 
into either of the original equations (let's use the first one)
 + 6y = 17)
Solution set is the ordered pair )
