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.
