How do I use the system of elimination on a problem like y=5x-8 and y=-6x+3? I don't know how to get a least on one the variables to be the same so I can eliminate.

    Multiply the first equation by 6 and the second by 5 and add them together

    6y=30x-48

    5y=-30x+15

    then

    11y=-33

    y=-3

    x=1
