The solution for the system of equations is:
$color(blue)(x=1$
$color(blue)(y=1$

$2x +y=3$ , multiplying by $2$
$4x +color(blue)(2y)=6$ .......equation $(1)$

$5x-color(blue)(2y)=3$ ........equation $(2)$

Solving by elimination

Adding equations $(2)$ and $(1 )$ results in elimination of $color(blue)(2y$

$4x +cancelcolor(blue)(2y)=6$

$5x-cancelcolor(blue)(2y)=3$

$9x=9$

$x=9/9$

$color(blue)(x=1$

Finding $y$ from equation $1$ :
$2x +y=3$

$y=3 - 2x$

$y=3 - 2 xx 1$

$y=3 - 2$

$color(blue)(y=1$
