Thank you... but how did you do that? I just want help not for you to do the problem. :)

Answer 7

rewrite the top equation so it looks like x=6-y
then just plug that into the second equation
3(6-y)-y=10 and distribute the 3 and then solve for y. once you get y just plug it into any of the original equations to get x.
