To solve the system of equations, you can use substitution or elimination. Let’s use the elimination method here. First, we can rearrange the first equation into a more convenient form:

Next, we can express in terms of :

Now, substitute this expression for into the second equation:

Distributing gives:

Combine like terms:

Now, solve for :

Now, substitute back into the expression for :

Thus, the solution to the system of equations is and .

To double-check, you can plug back into both original equations to ensure they hold true. Always a good practice!
