           Hi Lisa, 
          
            2x +3y=0 and 3x-y=0  
           
           
          If you add y to both sides of the second equation it becomes 
          
            3x = y 
             
          Hence, in the fi8rst equation you can replace y by 3x to get 
          
            2x + 3(3x) = 0 
              2x + 9x = 0 
              11x = 0 
             
          and hence x = 0. If you now substitute x = 0 into either equation you started with you will find that y = 0. 
          Thus the solution is x = y = 0.
