Question 548648:  3x+y=16 
2x-3y=-4

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! 3x+y=16 
2x-3y=-4
 
You have to null either the x or y value when given two equation with this format 
so you multiply the top equation by 3. 
(3)3x+y=16(3)= 9x+3y=48
 
9x+3y=48 
2x-3y=-4
 
Now that you have nulled the y value you get x isolated
 
11x=44 so x=4
 
now you plug that in to get y
 
2x-3(4)=-4 then you can solve it as a normal equation.
