Answer:
x = 4 and y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + y = 19 ... (1)
x - 2y = 6 ... (2)
Using Elimination method,
2 × Equation (1) + Equation (2)
10x + 2y = 38
+ x - 2y = 6
11x = 44 Divide both sides by 11
x = 44/11
x = 4
Also, Equation (1) - 5 × Equation(2)
5x + y = 19
-5x - 10y = 30
11y = - 11 Divide both sides by 11
y = -11/11
y = -1
Hence,
x = 4 and y = -1
