Answer:

y = 9.54

and, x = 0.08

Explanation:

Given that

x - 2y = -19 .......................(1)

3x + 5y = 48 ...............(2)

Based on the above information

Multiply by 3 in equation 1

So,

3x - 6y = -57

3x + 5y = 48

- - -

-11y = -105

y = 9.54

So, the x would be

x - 2(9.54) = -19

x - 19.08 = -19

x = -19 + 19.08

x = 0.08
