Answer:

  • x = 5
  • y = 1

Explanation:

2x-y = 9

2x+y = 11

=> -y = 9

-y = -11

=> -y = 9

-y = -11

=> -2y = -2

=> 2y = 2

=> y = 1

Using the equation, let's find x.

=> 2x+y = 11

=> 2x + 1 = 11

=> 2x = 11 - 1

=> 2x = 10

=> x = 5

Therefore, our answers are 'x = 5; y = 1'.

Hoped this helped.
