There are many ways to solve simultaneous linear equations. One of my favorite for finding integer solutions is graphing. The attached graph shows the solution to be ...
... (x, y) = (4, 7)
_____
You can also use Cramer's Rule, or the Vedic math variation of it, which tells you the solution to

is given by

Here, that means
... x = (9·67-5·75)/(9·8-5·3) = 228/57 = 4
... y = (75·8-67·3)/57 = 399/57 = 7
_____
A (graphing) calculator greatly facilitates either of these approaches.
