Answer:

x = 26 , y = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = 144 (1)

2x + 5y = 217 (2)

3x + 2y = 144

(divide the equation by 3)

x + (2/3)y = 48

x = 48 - (2/3)y

Plug into (2)

2[48 - (2/3)y] + 5y = 217

96 - (4/3)y + 5y = 217

11y/3 = 217 - 96

11y/3 = 121

y = 121×3/11

y = 33

x = 48 - (2/3)y

x = 48 - (2/3)(33)

x = 48 - 22

x = 26
