Answer:
x = 1
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 2y = 13
x + 2y = 9
Add both equations.
6x + 4y = 22
Solve for x.
6x = 22 - 4y
x = 22/6 - 4/6y
Put x as 22/6 - 4/6y in the second equation and solve for y.
22/6 - 4/6y + 2y = 9
-4/6y + 2y = 9 - 22/6
4/3y = 16/3
y = 16/3 × 3/4
y = 48/12
y = 4
Put y as 4 in the first equation and solve for x.
5x + 2(4) = 13
5x + 8 = 13
5x = 13 - 8
5x = 5
x = 5/5
x = 1
