\

Since the coefficients of the y-terms, +6 and +6, are same,

\

you can eliminate these terms by subtracting the equations.

\

Subtract the equations to eliminate variable y.

\

\"\"  (Write the equations in column form and subtract)

\

\"\"\"\"

\

Apply division property of equality: Divide each side by 6.

\

\"\"

\

\"\"                       (Cancel common terms)

\

\"\"                            (Divide: \"\")

\

Now Substitute \"\" for in either equation to find the value of y.

\

\"\" (Equation 1)

\

\"\"                      (Multiply: \"\")\"\"

\

Apply subtraction property of equality: Subtract 20 from each side.
