<em>The right question is:</em>

\frac{1}{2}x - 3y = 9

5x + y = 28

Answer:

<em></em>x = 6<em> </em>

y = -2<em></em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{1}{2}x - 3y = 9

5x + y = 28

Required

Solve for x and y

Make y the subject of formula in the second equation

y = 28 - 5x

Substitute y = 28 - 5x in the first equation

\frac{1}{2}x - 3(28 - 5x) = 9

Open the bracket

\frac{1}{2}x - 3*28 - 3*- 5x = 9

\frac{1}{2}x - 84 + 15x = 9

Collect Like Terms

\frac{1}{2}x  + 15x = 9+ 84

\frac{x}{2}  + 15x = 9+ 84

\frac{x+30x}{2} = 93

\frac{31x}{2} = 93

Multiply both sides by 2

2 * \frac{31x}{2} = 93 * 2

31x = 186

Divide both sides by 31

\frac{31x}{31} = \frac{186}{31}

x = \frac{186}{31}

x = 6

Recall that y = 28 - 5x

So;

y = 28 - 5 * 6

y = 28 - 30

y = -2

Hence;

<em></em>x = 6<em> and </em>y = -2<em></em>
