You can  put this solution on YOUR website! There are different ways to solve thewe, one way is by substitution; where one equation is solved t\for one variable and that solutin is substituted into the second equation. I will solve a few, then you try and do the rest. 
Solve one equation for one variable; 
1)x+5y=4  (eq.1) 
    3x-7y=-10  (eq.2) 
Lets start by solving eq.1 for x; 
x=4-5y (eq.3) 
Now substitute eq.3 into the other equation and solve for y; 
3(4-5y)-7y=-10 
12-15y-7y=-10 
12-22y=-10 
-22y=-10-22 
-22y=-22 
y=1 
Now you have what y equals, so you are going to plug that into eq.1 and solve for x; 
x+5(1)=4 
x+5=4 
x=4-5 
x=-1 
So the answer; x=-1, y=1
 
2)-5x+3y=6 (eq.1) 
      x-y=4 (eq.2)
 
x-y=4 
x=4+y (eq.3) 
-5(4+y)+3y=6 
-20-5y+3y=6 
-20-2y=6 
-2y=6+20 
-2y=26 
y=-13 
x-y=4 (eq.2) 
x-(-13)=4 
x+13=4 
x=4-13 
x=-9 
x=-9, y=-13
 
Now try and solve the others on your own, if you are still having problems, let me know.
