Equation 1: 5x + y = 6
Equation 2: 3x - 3y = 18

Multiply all of equation 1 by 3.

1)  3(5x+y=6)

1)  15x + 3y = 18
2)  3x - 3y = 18

Add equations together.

18x = 36

Divide both sides by 18.

x = 2

Plug in 2 for x in first equation.

5x + y = 6

5(2) + y = 6

10 + y = 6

Subtract 10 from both sides.

y = 6 - 10

y = -4

So, your answer is a) -4
