Answer:

x=2 y=-5

Explanation:

7x-y=19

2x-3y=19

Multiply the first equation by -3

-3(7x-y)=19*-3

-21x +3y =-57

Add this to the second equation to eliminate y

-21x +3y =-57

2x-3y=19

-----------------------

-19x = -38

Divide by -19

-19x/-19 = -38/-19

x = 2

Now we need to find y

7x-y = 19

7(2) -y =19

14 -y =19

Subtract 14 from each side

14-14 -y=19-14

-y=5

Multiply by -1

y = -5
