    3x+3y=33 notice how in the bottom equation you can multiply y by 3 to get

    2x+y=19 what is on top. This sets you up for an easy case of elimination! Multiply everything on the bottom by - 3 to start.

    3x+3y=33 Then you can cross out the y's (because they're opposite) and

    -6x-3y=-57 combine equations

    -3x=-24 From there it is pretty straight forward to find x: Just divide - 24 by - 3

    x=8 Then plug it back into any of your original equations and find y

    3 (8) + 3y=33 You should find that y=3
