You can put this solution on YOUR website!
IF Y=2X & 3X-3Y=2 THEN 3X-3(2X)=2 OR 3X-6X=2 OR -3X=2 OR -X=2/3 OR X=-2/3 THEN
Y=2(-2/3) OR Y=-4/3
PROOF 3(-2/3)-3(-4/3)=2 OR -6/3+12/3=2 OR -2+4=2 OR 2=2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO!!!!!!!! X=-2/3 & Y=-4/3
