Given:


\begin{gathered} 6x+5y=25\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots(1) \\ 4x-5y=15\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots(2) \end{gathered}

To find: The value of x and y

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding (1) and (2) we get,


\begin{gathered} 6x+5y+4x-5y=25+15 \\ 10x=40 \\ x=4 \end{gathered}

Substitute x=4 in equation (2) we get,


\begin{gathered} 6(4)+5y=25 \\ 24+_{}5y=25 \\ 5y=25-24 \\ 5y=1 \\ y=(1)/(5) \end{gathered}

Hence, the solution is,


(4,(1)/(5))

Final answer:


(4,(1)/(5))
