Answer:
x = 3, y = - 1
Explanation:
2x + y = 5 → (1)
4x + 3y = 9 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by - 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate the x- term
- 4x - 2y = - 10 → (3)
Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate x
0 + y = - 1
y = - 1
Substitute y = - 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting into (1)
2x - 1 = 5 ( add 1 to both sides )
2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 3
