It is not very clear. Did you mean?:

$\begin{Bmatrix} 2y-3x=2\\4y^2-4xy-18x^2=5\end{matrix}$

3. Yes apart from 2y - 3x = 2. Thankyou ever so much if you can help me.

Kind regards

All right, I've corrected it. Then from the first equation:

$y=\dfrac{2+3x}{2}$

Now, substitute $y$ in the second one and you'll obtain a quadratic equation on $x$ .

What have you tried? The next stage is to substitute $y=\dfrac{2+3x}{2}$ into the second equation.

7. Here is a suggestion.
Note that $2y=3x+2$.
Write the other equation as $(2y)^2-2x(2y)-18x^2=5$.
Now substitute for $(2y)$.
