Answer:

The answer is:


x=(75)/(13) \\\\y=(35)/(13)

Explanation:

Given:

x=4y-5

2x+5y=25

Now, to solve the systems of equations.


x=4y-5\ \ \ ..........(1)


2x+5y=25\ \ \ .......(2)

Now, to solve by using substitution:


2x+5y=25

Substituting the value of
x from equation (1) we get:


2(4y-5)+5y=25\\\\8y-10+5y=25\\\\13y-10=25

Adding both sides by 10 we get:


13y=35

Dividing both sides by 13 we get:


y=(35)/(13)

Now, substituting the value of
y in equation (1):


x=4y-5


x=4* ((35)/(13)) -5\\\\x=(140)/(13) -5


x=(140-65)/(13) \\\\x=(75)/(13)

Therefore, the answer is:


x=(75)/(13) \\\\y=(35)/(13)
