    1. Since y in first equation is positive and y in second equation is negative, the easiest was to solve this system is:

    3x+y+2x-y=5+10

    5x=15

    x=3

    Now use the x to find y:

    3*3+y=5

    9+y=5

    y=5-9

    y=-4

    2. You can either multiply the first equation by 2 so that we get the same numbers in front of the y but with different signs or simply express one of the variables and write it in second one.

    First way:

    2x+2y=3 / *2 (multyplying by 2)

    4x+4y=6 (that's our first equation)

    x-4y=-1 (that's our second equation)

    now we just add the equations:

    4x+4y+x-4y=6 + (-1)

    5x=6-1

    5x=5

    x=1

    now we find y:

    1-4y=-1

    -4y=-1-1

    y=-2/-4

    y=1/2

    Second way:

    We express x from the second equation and get:

    x=-1+4y

    now we change x in the first equation with our new x:

    2 * (-1+4y) + 2y=3

    -2+8y+2y=3

    10y=5

    y=1/2

    x=-1+4 * (1/2)

    x=-1+2

    x=1
