Answer:

not 100% confident but I think this is at least close

Explanation:

solve for one variable

1. x-5y=2

x=2+5y

plug this in to another equations and simplify

2. (2+5y)-y=16

2+4y=16

4y=14

y=3.5

this can be plugged in to all other equations to find x

1. x-5(3.5)=2

x-17.5=2

x=19.5

2. x-(3.5)=16

x=19.5

3. 2x-(3.5)=5

2x=8.5

x=4.25

4. x-3(3.5)=4

x-10.5=4

x=14.5
