Put both into standard form.
4x-y=36, 9y=4x-68

------------------
4x-y=36
-4x-9y=-68
------------------

Add corresponding members to eliminate x.




Multiply the first equation by 9 and multiply the second equation by -1.
-----------------
36x-9y=36*9
4x+9y=68
----------------

Add corresponding members to eliminate y.
