The solution is ((x),(y))=((28/3),(43/9))

Explanation:

We perform the Gauss Jordan elimination with the augmented matrix

M=((4,-3,:,-5),(-1,3,:,12))

We perform the row operations

R2larr4R2+R1, =>, ((4,-3,:,-5),(0,9,:,43))

R2larr(R2)/9, =>, ((4,-3,:,-5),(0,1,:,43/9))

R1larrR1+3R2, =>, ((4,0,:,28/3),(0,1,:,43/9))

R1larr(R1)/4, =>, ((1,0,:,28/12),(0,1,:,43/9))
