First solve for x. This will make x equal to an equation that has only y in it. The first equation solves to x=13-3y
Place 13-y in all places that there is an x in the other equation.
This comes to
2(13-y)-3y=-19
No you can solve for y and there will be no variable left over. Use that number to solve for x.
