You can put this solution on YOUR website! problem  1 1)  2x+3y=1
 2)-3x+y=15,,,,,y=(15+3x)
 subst  into  (1)
 2x+3(15+3x)=1
 2x+45+9x=1
 11x=-44
 x=-4
 y=15+3x=15+3(-4)=15-12=3
 check  by  subst  in  (1)  &(2)   ok
 problem  2
 1)  5r-s=5,,,,,s=-5+5r=5r-5
 2)  -4r+5s=17
 subst  into  (2)
 -4r+5(5r-5)=17
 -4r+25r-25=17
 21r=42
 r=2
 S=5r-5=5(2)-5=5
 check  in  (1) &(2)  ok
 problem 3
 1)x-3y=0,,,,x=3y
 2)3x+y=7
 subst  into  (2)
 3(3y) +y=7
 9y+y=7
 10y=7
 y=7/10
 x=3y=3(7/10)=21/10
 check  in  (1)&(2)  ok
 problem 4
 1) 1/2  (x) -2y=17
 2) 2x+y=104,,,,,y=104-2x
 subst  into  (1)
 1/2(x) -2(104-2x)=17
 1/2(x) -208+4x=17
 4.5x=225
 x=50
 y=104-2x
 y=104-2(50)=104-100=4
 check  in (1) &(2)  ok
