3y+2x=26
This is using substitution or elimination

You can put this solution on YOUR website! How am I suppose to answer this
You're not supposed to answer it, it's not a question.
---------
The reference to substitution or elimination implies that you're expected to solve the system for x & y.
--------
You should say that - "How do I solve the system for x & y?"
Knowing what you want to do and expressing it is a big step toward doing it.
================================
x=12y-14
3y+2x=26
----------
x -12y = -14
2x +3y = 26
-- ---------
Multiply the 1st eqn by 2, then subtract.
2x -24y = -28
2x + 3y = 26
--------------- Subtract
-27y = -54
y = 2
=========
Sub for y in any equation and solve for x
