Answer
x = 5
y = 1
Work Step by Step
1. First decide what variable you want to cancel out first. I chose to cancel out X first
2. For canceling out X, I multiplied the first equation by 2 to get the X's on both equations to have the same constant out in front
3. Multiplying the first equation by 2 should get you 4X + 10Y = 30
4. Now, to cancel out the 4X from both equations, we are gonna subtract the equation from each other
5. Subtracting the equations will cancel out the X's and be left with 9Y = 9 , in which solving for Y gives you Y =1
6. Now plug in Y = 1 for either equation. I chose to plug it into the second equation but the first equation will work fine as well
7. Plugging into second equation should get you 4X + 1 = 21, solving for X you should get X = 5
8. Even if you plugged Y = 1 into the first equation, you should be getting the same answer of X = 5
9. That is how you get your answers of X = 5 and Y = 1
