So start from both correct equations, you know how to do the math - DO IT!

I keep getting moles in the negatives...but I don't know where my mistake is:
55.85x + 26.98y = 3.753
55.85(0.1456 - 2/3y) + 26.98y = 3.753
8.132 - 37.233y + 26.98y = 3.753
-10.253y = -4.379
           y = 0.4271

x + 2/3y = 0.1456
x + 2/3(0.4271) = 0.1456
x + 0.2847 = 0.1456
              x = -0.1391 ... theres the mistake... ???

Second equation should be

x + 3/2y = 0.1456

Sorry, you are making mistakes faster than I can correct them.
