You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let us number these equations x+y=6		Eqn(1)
 x+3y=10		Eqn(2)
 Subtracting Eqn(1) from Eqn(2) we get
 2y = 4 Dividing both sides by 2 we get 2y/2 = 4/2 , so y = 2
 Plugging in the value of y in Eqn(1) we get x + 2 = 6
 Subtracting 2 from both sides we have x = 4
 So the answer is x = 4 and y = 2
