You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello, x = 4y
 2x + 3y = 44
 We can plug the first equation into the second like this:
 2(4y)+3y=44 Combine like terms to get:
 11y=44 Divide both sides by 11 to get:
 y=4
 Now plug this into the first equation to get:
 x=16
 There we go. Check the answers in both equations.
