    On this problem, we want to use substitution, so we're going to have five times the 33 -, 7 Y plus 6Y equaling 20. If we distribute the five out, we get 165 -, 35 Y plus 6Y equal 20. I'm going to subtract the 165 to the other side, and I'm going to combine my Y term so I get -29 Y equal -145. If I divide by -29, a negative divided by a negative is a +145 / 29 is five. Once I get the Y, we're going to substitute it into either of the two equations to figure out our X. The easier one in this situation is the bottom one. So X equal 33 - 7 * 533 -, 35 is -2. So our point is X is -2 when Y is five.
