5x + 4y  =  12     (1)

3x - 3y   =  18      divide through by 3  →  x - y  =  6  ..... 

multiply through by 4 →  4x - 4y  = 24      (2)

 

Add (1)  and (2)

 

9x  =  36       divide through by 9

 

x  = 4

 

Using    x - y  =   6, we have

 

4 - y  = 6        add y to both sides, subtract 6 from both sides

 

4 - 6  = y  =  -2
