there
ok so you need to make 2 things in common, they both need to be 6y so you can subtract, isolate x and subsitute:
3(4x+2y=10) = 12x+6y=30
2(5x+3y=12) = 10x+6y=24
Now we have 6y in common, we can subtract to get just the x variable
dond do elimination ngl
12x+6y=30-10x+6y=24 = 2x=6
Divide by 2 both sides
x = 3
Now substitute x = 3 into the first or second equation. 3(4) = 12, 12+2y = 10, 2y = -2, y = -1
Hence, x = 3, y = -1
make either the y or the x the same so i would first make the x the same so times the first equation by 5 to make it 20x+10y=50 and the second one by 4 to make it 20x+12y=48 then eliminate the x's because they are the same which leaves you with 10y=50 and 12y=48 minus then because the symbols are both + which leaves you with 2y=-2 which means y=-1 then substitute the y into one of the equations.
