Answer:

(7,2)

Explanation:

5x + 3y = 41

3x - 6y = 9

Multiply the first equation by 2

2(5x + 3y) = 41 *2

10x +6y = 82

Add this to the second equation

10x +6y = 82

3x - 6y = 9

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

13x = 91

Divide by 13

13x/13 = 91/13

x=7

Now we can find y

5x+3y = 41

5(7) +3y =51

35+3y=41

Subtract 35 from each side

35-35+3y=41-35

3y = 6

Divide by 3

3y/3 = 6/3

y=2
