The solution for the system of equations is:

x= (-88)/15x=8815

y= 53/15y=5315

Explanation:

3x+color(blue)(3y)=-73x+3y=7......equation 11

4x-y=-274xy=27, multiplying by 33
12x-color(blue)(3y)=-8112x3y=81.....equation 22

Solving by elimination

Adding equations 11 and 22:

3x+cancelcolor(blue)(3y)=-7

12x-cancelcolor(blue)(3y)=-81

15x= -88

x= (-88)/15

Finding y from equation 1:
3x+3y=-7

cancel3 xx (-88/cancel15)+3y=-7

(-88/5)+3y=-7
3y=-7 + 88/5

3y=-35/5 + 88/5

3y= 53/5

y= 53/15
