Answer:

(x,y)=(10,6)

Explanation:

Substitute the value of x into the equation {4x+ 5= 70

{x= 6+ 2/3y

solve the equation 4(6+2/3y) +5y = 70

substitute the value of y into the equation y=6

solve the equation x=6 + 2/3 times 6

A possible solution is x= 10

Check the solution (x,y) = (10 ,6)

Simplify {4 times 10 + 5 times 6 =7

{3 times 10 - 2 times 6 = 18

The ordered pair is a solution {70 = 70

{18 =18
