    Plug in 3x-5 to the second equation for every y value. (This is substitution)

    2x + 6 (3x-5) = 20

    2x+18x-30=20

    20x=50

    x=2.5

    Then solve the first equation with your x value

    y=3 (2.5) - 5

    y=7.5-5

    Y=2.5

    To check plug the numbers into both

    EQ 1: 2.5=7.5-5

    EQ 2: 5+15=20
