Answer:

x=1, y=3

Explanation:

using sublimation method

y-3x=0 ....eqn(1)

2y+5x=11....eqn(2)

from eqn 1

y-3x=0

y=3x

substitute y=3x into eqn 2

2y+5x=11

2(3x)+5x=11

6x+5x=11

11x=11 (divide both sides by the coefficient of x)

x=1

since x=1 , substitute x=1 into eqn 1 to get y

y-3x=0

y-3(1)=0

y-3=0

y=3

Using elimination method

y-3x=0....eqn (1)

2y+5x=11....eqn (2)

multiply eqn 1 through by 2 and eqn 2 through by 1 to eliminate y

2y-6x=0.... eqn 3

2y+5x=11.... eqn 4

subtract eqn 4 from from eqn 3

-11x=-11 (divide both sides by the coefficient of x)

x=1

substitute x=1 into eqn 2 to get y

2y+5x=11

2y+ 5(1) =11

2y+5=11

2y=11-5

2y= 6 (divide both sides by the coefficient of y)

y=3
