we can solve this by elimination, in order to do this we need to multiply the bottom equation by three to cross out the X

(x+5y=38)3 3x+15y=114

-3x+4y=95
3x+15y=114

then add the two equations together and the X will cancel out

19y=209
----- -----
19 19

y=11

then plug that in into one of the equations

x+55=38
-55 -55

x= -17

your answer is (-17,11)
