Answer:

(1,4)

Explanation:

Set up the second equation to be in standard form.

x + y = 5

3x - 2y = -5

Then multiply the top equation by -3 to prepare for elimination.

-3x - 3y = -15

3x - 2y = -5

Add the two equations.

-5y = -20

Solve

y = 4

Substitute y=4 in original equation x + y = 5

x + 4 = 5

x = 1
