there is no other information but I'm assuming they're asking me to do substitution?

In that case, you could just plug in y since it's given in the second equation :

3x = 2(-6x+18) +14

Distribute :

3x = -12x +36 +14

Combine like terms and simplify:

15x = 50

Then divide :

Which I'm sure you could doo
