Answer:

( 5, 3/2 )

x = 5

y = 3/2

Explanation:

5x - 4y = 19

x + 2y = 8

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

2(x + 2y = 8) = 2x + 4y = 16

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

5x - 4y = 19

2x + 4y = 16

7x = 35

÷7 ÷7

x = 5

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

x + 2y = 8

5 + 2y = 8

-5 -5

2y = 3

÷2 ÷2

y = ( 3/2 )

I hope this helps!
