y=914,x=61112

Explanation:

3x+3y=71

3xy=302

4y=37----------------------------------12

y=374

y=914

substitute y=374 in-------2

3x(374)=30

3x+374=30

3x=30374

3x=1204374

3x=834

multiply both sides by 4

12x=83

x=8312

x=61112

substitute y=374,x=8312 in-------2

3(8312)(374)=30

24912+374=301

249+111=36012

24912+11112=36012

36012=36012
