2x + 5y = 2 ..... Eq.1

-3x - y = -3 ..... Eq.2 .... we can write it in another form y = 3 - 3x

Put the value of y in Eq.1 the result will be :

2x + 5(3 - 3x) = 2

2x + 15 - 15x = 2

2x - 15x + 15 = 2

-13x + 15 = 2

-13x = 2 - 15

-13x = -13

x = -13/-13 ......... X = 1

to find Y, put the value of X in Eq.2

y = 3 - 3x

y = 3 - 3(1)

y = 3 - 3 .......... Y = Zero
