Answer

x=4,y=2

Steps

Step 1 :Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 1 to make the coefficients of y equal: {6x+3y=30x3y=2

Step 2 :Add the two equations to eliminate y: 7x=28

Step 3 :Divide by 7 to find x: x=4

Step 4 :Substitute x back into one of the original equations to find y: 43y=2

Step 5 :Solve for y: y=2

Step 6 :x=4,y=2
