Answer 1

answer: (3,2)
hope this helps you out .

Answer 2

(3,2)

Explanation:

2x+5y=16

3x-5y=-1

Subtract 2x from the first equation

5y=16-2x

Substitute the given value of 5y into the equation

3x-(5y)=16

3x-(16-2x)=-1

Solve for x

3x-(16-2x)=-1

3x-16+2x=-1

5x-16=-1

5x=15

x=3

Substitute the given value of x into the equation

3x-5y=-1

3*3-5y=-1

Solve

3*3-5y=-1

9-5y=-1

-5y=-10

y=2
