Answer:

x=3

y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

chose one equation to use for elimination from the other equation to eliminate a variable.

9x-5y= -13

+ -7x+5y= 19

----------------------

2x= 6

divide both sides by 2 to get just one variable itself:

x=3

plug in variable x to one of the equations to get variable y:

9(3)-5y= -13

27-5y= -13

-5y= -40

divide each side by -5:

y=8
