You can put this solution on YOUR website! From 5x=3(1-y)
 3x+3y+1=0
 let's multiply the first one out and get
 5x = 3 - 3y
 If we solve it for 3y, we can plug that into the other equation...
 3y = -5x + 3
 and
 then
 3x + (-5x + 3) + 1 = 0
 -2x + 4 = 0
 -2x = -4
 x = 2
 Then substitute and get
 3(2) + 3y + 1 = 0
 3y + 7 = 0
 3y = -7
 y = -7/3
