Answer:

{x,y} = {25/9,23/9}

Explanation:

// Solve equation [2] for the variable x

[2] x = -4y + 13

// Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]

[1] 5•(-4y+13) + 2y = 19

[1] - 18y = -46

// Solve equation [1] for the variable y

[1] 18y = 46

[1] y = 23/9

// By now we know this much :

x = -4y+13

y = 23/9

// Use the y value to solve for x
