Answer x=5, y= 3.5
Find y by plugging the x value into the 2nd equation
4(2y-2) -9=11
8y - 8 - 9 =11 combine like terms
8y = 28 divide both sides by 8
y = 3.5
Now find x
Plug your y value into first equation
X = 2(3.5) -2
X= 7-2
X=5
You can check your work by putting your x or y values into the equations
For the first equation
5=2(3.5) -2
5=5
For the second equation
4(5) -9 = 11
20 - 9 = 11
11 =11
