y=6-x

Start with "substitution" method:

y = 6 - x ........................................(1)

2x-3y = 22 .....................................(2)

Replace (substitute) the "y" in (2) by "6 - x" and solve for x.

Then continue and solve for "y".

Finally, don't forget to check your answer by using these calculated values of x & y in (1) and (2) and making sure those satisfy the given set of equations.
