Answer 1

Answer:

x/y = 88/7

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=19

x+3y=12y+5

First rewrite second equation as:

x +3y-12y = 5

Combine like terms:

x-9y = 5

Now you have:

x+y=19

x-9y = 5

Elimination method  Subtract 2 equations:

10y = 14  Divide both sides by 10

y = 14/10 = 7/5

Plug in y in any given equation and calculate x:

x+ 7/5 = 19  Subtract 7/5 from 19

x = 88/5 = 17 3/5

x/y = 88/5 : 7/5
