do you can solve this system ?

so little help - from the first equation select one from unknown x or y 
calcule the value of and substitute in place of it inside second equation and in this way will get the right value of other one

using this value of x or y - depend what you ve get - so just substitute inside first equation in respectively place of and you will get the value of second one so x or y

hope helped understandably
