S =(-1, 2)

1) Solving this system by Elimination Method, we have to first decide what term should be eliminated first

x-y=-3

5x+3y=1​

2) Let's eliminate y, by multiplying the 1st equation by 3

x-y=-3 x 3

5x+3y=1​

3x-3y=-9 Add both equations simultaneously

5x+3y=1

---------------------​

8x = -8 Divide both sides by 8

x=-1

3) Plug x=-1 into the first equation

x-y=-3

-1 -y = -3

- y = -3 +1

-y = -2

y= 2

Hence, the solution for that system is (-1, 2)
