"What is the y-coordinate of the solution to the system 5x-2y=3 and 2x-y=0?"

5x - 2y = 3 -----> -10x + 4y = -6 {multiplied top equation by -2}
2x - y = 0 -------> 10x - 5y = 0 {multiplied bottom equation by 5}

-10x + 4y = -6
10x - 5y = 0
---------------
-y = -6 {added the two new equations together}
y = 6 {divided both sides by -1}
