Start with the given system

Plug in into the first equation. In other words, replace each with . Notice we've eliminated the variables. So we now have a simple equation with one unknown.

Multiply both sides by the LCM of 3. This will eliminate the fractions (note: if you need help with finding the LCM, check out this solver)

Distribute and multiply the LCM to each side

Distribute

Combine like terms on the left side

Add 22 to both sides

Combine like terms on the right side

Divide both sides by 9 to isolate x

Now that we know that , we can plug this into to find

Substitute for each

Simplify

So our answer is and which forms the ordered pair
