(1) +x+%2B+2y+=+2+
(2) +5x+-+3y+=+-29+
---------------------
Multiply both sides of (1) by +5+
and subtract (2) from (1)
----------------------
(1) +5x+%2B+10y+=+10+
(2) +-5x+%2B+3y+=+29+
---------------------
+13y+=+39+
+y+=+3+
------------
and
(1) +x+%2B+2y+=+2+
(1) +x+%2B+2%2A3+=+2+
(1) +x+%2B+6+=+2+
(1) +x+=+-4+
+y+=+3+
