First, you substitute y into the first equation to get 0.01x - 0.3(0.1x - 2) = 1
You then distribute the 0.3 to what is inside the parentheses to get 0.01x-0.03x+0.6=1 (Note: the 0.6 is positive because two negatives multiplied equal a positive)
Now you combine like terms to get -0.02x+0.6=1
Subtract 0.6 from both sides of the equal sign to get -0.02x=0.4
