First make sure that one of the variable has the same coefficient in each equations.
For example lets use:
y=x+3
2y=3x-1
Since neither the y's or x's are the same, we must multiply the equations to make them the same. I am going to multiply the first equation by 2 so I can eliminate the y's.
So we get:
2y=2x+3
2y=3x-1
Then we subtract the second equation from the first to eliminate the y's. So we end up with 0=-x+4 and now we solve for x
0=-x+4
x=4
Now we plug in our x into either original to get the y-value. I am using the first
y=x+3
y=4+3
So the x=4 and y=7
Hope this helps!

Answer:
If you need the equation: 10x - 12
If you need the equation more simplified: x - 1.2
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x + 7) - (8x + 5)
Move the parts of the equation around
(2x + 8x) - (7 + 5)
Add 2x and 8x together
10x - (7 + 5)
Add 7 and 5 together
10x - 12
If you need it even more simplified, continue
10x - 12
Divide by 10
x - 12/10
Simplify
x - 1.2
I Hope That This Helps! :)
