We could solve for 'x' in the 2nd equation and then plug that into the first equation for 'x' and solve for 'y':
Subtract 6y to both sides:
Divide -2 to both sides:
Plug in 3y + 17 for 'x' in the first equation:
Distribute 5:
Combine like terms:
Subtract 85 to both sides:
Divide 17 to both sides:
This is the y-coordinate of the solution.
