1) 2x + 1 = 3y

2) 4 = 3y - 10 this can be re-written as 3y = 4 + 10

Therefore 2x + 1 = 4 + 10

2x = 13

x = 6.5

Sustitute x = 6.5 in equation 1) above

2x + 1 = 3y

2 (6.5) + 1 = 3y

therefore 3y = 13 +1

3y = 14

y = 14/3

Now substitute y = 14/3 in equation 2) above and watch what happens!

4 = 3(14/3) -10

4 = 4

Therefore the answer is correct!
