Answer:

Explanation:

x+5y=-27

-2x-5y=24

If the signs are the same u minus if they are different u add

So they are different were gonna add

x+5y=-27

-2x-5y=24

-1=-3

You cant divide it further x=-3

Next were gonna subsitute in any equation

x(-3)+5y=-27

-3+5y=-27

+3 to -27

-7+3=-24

5y=24

24/5=4.8 y=4.8

I hope this helps.
