Multiply the first equation by 12 and the second by 6 to eliminate denominators:
- $$3(15x - 3y) + 2(3x + 2y) = 36 \\ 45x - 9y + 6x + 4y = 36 \\ 51x - 5y = 36$$
- $$2(3x + y) - 3(x - 3y) = 36 \\ 6x + 2y - 3x + 9y = 36 \\ 3x + 11y = 36$$
- Multiply the second simplified equation by 17: $$51x + 187y = 612$$. Subtract the first simplified equation from this: $$(51x + 187y) - (51x - 5y) = 612 - 36 \\ 192y = 576 \\ y = 3$$
- Substitute $$y=3$$ into $$3x + 11y = 36$$: $$3x + 11(3) = 36 \\ 3x + 33 = 36 \\ 3x = 3 \\ x = 1$$
Solution: $$x=1, y=3$$.
