First arrange this simultaneous equation in the form of:

4x+5y = 33

4x-2y = -2

Subtract the bottom equation from the top equation remembering that a - - is equal to a +:

7y = 35

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

y = 5

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

So: x = 2 and y = 5

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
