x-5y=17	.............1				
6y=-8-5x	---------2				
/6=									
y=-1.33	-0.83x					
Plug the value of y in (1)											
x-5(-1.33-0.83x)	=17
x+6.67+	4.17x=17			
x+4.17x=	17-6.67				
5.17x=10.33								
/5.17										
x=2										
Plug the value of x in (1)											
x-5y=17					
1*2-5y=17				
2-5y=17
