Y=3/5

First, set it up so they cancel. I recommend multiplying the second equation by 2, getting

[tex]4x-10y=-3[/tex]

[tex]24x+10y=24[/tex]

add them together, and you get

[tex]28x=21[/tex]

so

[tex]x=3/4[/tex]

then, you plug x into one of the equations (first because it's easier) and get

[tex]3-10y=-3[/tex]

so

[tex]-10y=-6[/tex]

and

[tex]y=3/5[/tex]
