I thank you for the help. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 7x+3y=1
4x-y=6
----
Multiply thru the bottom equation by 3:
-------
7x + 3y = 1
12x -3y = 18
---------------------
Add and solve for "x":
19x = 19
x = 1
----
Solve for "y":
4x-y = 6
4 - y = 6
y = -2
