Answer:

x=2,y=5

Explanation:

Given:

Solve the system below using substution

{2x-3y= -11}

{2x+y=9}

Solution~:


\begin{bmatrix}2x-3y=-11\\ 2x+y=9\end{bmatrix}

Isolate x for 2x-3y = -11 :
x=(-11+3y)/(2)

Substitute
x=(-11+3y)/(2) to:


\begin{bmatrix}2\cdot (-11+3y)/(2)+y=9\end{bmatrix}

=
\begin{bmatrix}-11+4y=9\end{bmatrix}

Isolate y for -11 + 4y = 9 : y = 5

Substitute y = 5


x=(-11+3\cdot \:5)/(2)=2

x = 2

Hence, the solutions for
\begin{bmatrix}2x-3y=-11\\ 2x+y=9\end{bmatrix} are:


x=2,\:y=5
