Answer: x=1 , y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+y =9 y=9-5x

10x - 7y = -18

10x-7(9-5x)=-18 y=9-5x

10x-63+35x=-18 y=9-5(1)

45x-63=-18 y=4

45x=-18+63

45x=45

x=1

Answer:

x=1, y=4

Explanation:

5x+y=9

10x-7y=-18

(Multiply top equation by -2)

-10x-2y=-18

10x-7y=-18

(Add)

-9y=-36

(Divide -36 by -9)

y=4

(Substitute y(4) into the top equation)

5x+4=9

(Subtract 4)

5x=5

(Divide 5)

x=1
