    Let's isolate

    x

    in the first:

    x

    =

    18

    3

    -

    6

    y

    3

    x

    =

    6

    -

    2

    y

    Now, we replace this found

    x

    in the second:

    2

    (

    6

    -

    2

    y

    )

    +

    5

    y

    =

    20

    12

    -

    4

    y

    +

    5

    y

    =

    20

    12

    +

    y

    =

    20

    y

    =

    8

    Now, you just replace this

    y

    =

    8

    in the isolated

    x

    above:

    x

    =

    6

    -

    2

    (

    8

    )

    x

    =

    6

    -

    16

    =

    -
