Solve equations with substitution method

Solve equations with substitution method is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

Task

Let given equations:
3x + y = -1 and 2x - 3y = -19
Solve it with substitution method.
