ANSWER:

wolf1728 · Answer

2x + y = 3 
x = 2y - 1
Rearrange the second equation so you have
2x + y = 3 
x -2y = - 1

Multiply the top equation by 2
4x + 2y = 6
x -2y = -1

Add both equations and you should have an "x" value

yes ^^

Agreed.  Another possible approach would be to use substitution:

I note you have   x = 2y - 1

and that you could substitute 2y - 1 for x in the first equation, thus eliminating x completely.  Find y, then find x.
