Answer:X=3,Y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-y=11 equation (1)

X+3y=-5 equation (2)

Multiply equation 1and 2by2and4 to eliminate x using elimination method of simultaneous equations

4x - 2y=22

4x + 12y = -20

Subtract equation 2 from 1

10y = 2

Divide both sides by 2 to get the value of y

y = 10/2

y = 5

Substitute the value of y into equation 1 to get the value of x

2x 5 = 11

2x=11 - 5

2x =6

Divide both sides by 2 to get the value of x

x =6/2

x = 3
