What is the solution to the equation -5x+4y=6 and 3x-y=2

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

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