Answer:
x = 2.25 y = 0.75
Explanation:
2x = 9.5- 5
2x = 4.5
x = 4.5 ÷ 2
x = 2.25
know we now what is x so in the second one we evaluate x
3(2.25) + 5y = 10.5
6.75 + 5y = 10.5
5y = 10.5- 6.75
5y = 3.75
y = 3.75 ÷ 5
y = 0.75
that's it !
if you want to check your answer you can evaluate x and y so it will be like
2×2.25 + 5
= 4.5 + 5 = 9.5
and
3× 2.25 +5×0.75
= 6.75 + 3.75 = 10.5
