For this case we have the following system of equations:


2x + 4y = 10\\3x-4y = 5

We solve by the method of elimination, then:

We add both equations:


2x + 3x = 10 + 5\\5x = 15\\x = \frac {15} {5}\\x = 3

We find the value of y:


3 (3) -4y = 5\\9-4y = 5\\9-5 = 4y\\4 = 4y\\y = \frac {4} {4}\\y = 1

Answer:

(3,1)
