you can add/subtract the two equations together in that one of the variables disappears when you multiple one of the equations by a number than would make (let's say) x = 3x or -3x.Simply multiply the whole equation by that number.Then add/subtract (depending on whether you chose -3x / 3x) to get rid of x. then you solve for y.remember to add/subtract the sum as well (2 [times -3 or 3] and -22)
