@DSS  Or better yet @Champion (DSS) plz help

This one is less complicated. 
2x + 3y = 11            2(2x+3y=11)             4x+6y=22
–4x + 2y = 2                                            -4x+2y=2
                                                                          8y=24
                                                                             y=3

Get x:
2x+3(3)=11
2x+9=11
2x=2
x=1                 (1,3)
