5(3x+2y = 2)

3(5x+y = 1)

Multiply all the terms in the top equation by 5 and in the lower equation by 3:

15x+10y = 10

15x+3y = 3

Subtract the lower equation from the top equation:

7y = 7

Divide both sides by 7 to find the value of y:

y = 1

Substitute the value of y into the original equations to find the value of x:

Solution: x = 0 and y = 1
