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.
