  Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

  6x – 2y = 10

  2x + 3y = 51

  Solving the first equation above for y:

  6x-2y=10

  ⇒ 2y=6x-10

  dividing both sides by 2

  y=3x-5

  Putting value of y in second equation

  2x + 3(3x-5) = 51

  2x+9x-15=51

  11x=51+15

  11x=66

  ⇒ x=6

  y=3×6-5

  =18-5

  = 13

  Hence, solution is: x=6 and y=13

  and  Solving the first equation above for y gives: y=3x-5
