3%2Ax-2%2Ay=22-----------------6%2Ax-4%2Ay=44
5%2Ax%2B4%2Ay=0------------------5%2Ax%2B4%2Ay=0
_________________________________________________
11%2Ax=44
x=4
5%2A4%2B4%2Ay=0
20%2B4%2Ay=0
4%2Ay=-20
y=-5
What I did was:
Multiplied the first equation by 2 and added it to the second equation to eliminate y. When I found the value of x, I substituted the value to the second equation to produce y.
