Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE linear system by SUBSTITUTION
Solve:
+system%28+%0D%0A++++3%5Cx+%2B+6%5Cy+=+6%2C%0D%0A++++-6%5Cx+%2B+1%5Cy+=+40+%29%0D%0A++We'll use substitution. After moving 6*y to the right, we get:
3%2Ax+=+6+-+6%2Ay, or x+=+6%2F3+-+6%2Ay%2F3. Substitute that
into another equation:
-6%2A%286%2F3+-+6%2Ay%2F3%29+%2B+1%5Cy+=+40 and simplify: So, we know that y=4. Since x+=+6%2F3+-+6%2Ay%2F3, x=-6.

Answer: system%28+x=-6%2C+y=4+%29.
