Multiplication and Addition
x+2y=6
5x+3y=2
-5(x+2y=6)                   x+2(-4)=6
-5x-10y=-30                 x-8=6
5x+3y=2                       x=14
7y=-28
y=-4                             (14,-4)
I needed a 5x and a negative 5x to cancel each other out. So I took -5 and multiplied it by x+2y=6 and got -5x-10y=-30
then added that to 5x+3y=2 and got7y = -28 and y=-4 then pluged y into x+2y=6 and got x-8=6 then got x=14 and thats out x and y
