Given equations,


\begin{gathered} 4x+3y=25\ldots\ldots(1) \\ 2x\pm5y=19\ldots\ldots.(2) \end{gathered}

Step 1) In step 1, multiply the second equation by -2.

Thus, the multiplication property of equality.

Step 2) In step 2, we add both equations generated in step 1.

Thus, the additional property of equality.

Step 3) We divide both sides of the equation obtained in step 2 by 13.

Thus, the division property of equality.

Step 4) We substitute the value obtained in step 3 for y in the first equation.

Thus, the substitution property of equality.

Step 5) Simplify.

Step 6) We add +3 on both sides of the equation in order to have an equation with a variable x.

Thus, the additional property of equality.

Step 7) We divide both sides of the equation obtained to get the value of x.

Thus, division property of equality.
