Algebra always makes things sound harder than they actually are, and weird vocabulary can mix up the steps we knew so well.
Part 1: Multiply the first equation by a 2 so that you can cancel out the y variable.
6x - 2y = 0
5x + 2y = 22
Part 2: Actually cancel out the y variables, and combine like terms.
11x = 22
Part 3: Solve for "x" by dividing both sides by 11
x = 2
Part 4: Substitute the variable "x" with the value we just solved for in the original equation.
3(2) - y = 0
6 - y = 0
Then, solve for y by adding y to both sides
6=y
Solution Set = {2,6}
