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

Answer: system%28+x=3%2C+y=-2+%29.
