system%283x%2B2y=25%2C%0D%0Ax-3y=1%29.

Express  x  from the second equation,  x = 3y+1,  and substitute it into the first equation.  You will get the equation for a single unknown  y:

3*(3y + 1) + 2y = 25.

Simplify and solve it:

9y + 3 + 2y = 25,

11y = 25 -3,

11y = 22.

Please complete the solution yourself.
