Answer:
x= 11 and y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
(solving by elimination)
Multiply the first equation by 2 and multiply the second one by 1.
2(x+y= 15)
1(-2x+5y=-2)
is now
2x+2y=30
-2x+5y-2
add them together to eliminate x
7y=28
then solve for y
7y=28
[tex]\frac{7y}{7}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{28}{7}[/tex]
y=4
---
Now you have y. put that back into the original equation for X
---
x+y=15
y= 4 so
x+4=15
x= 15-4
x=11
x=11, y=4
