Combine the equations in such a manner so that either the x terms or the y terms cancel each other out. Then solve for the remaining variable. Finally, plug this in to one of the original equations and solve for the other variable [the one you initially cancelled out.] In this case, I recommend making the y terms cancel and solving for x.
