Answer:

(
(13)/(5) ,
(6)/(5) )

Explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x - y - 4 = 0 → (1)

3x + y - 9 = 0 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate the term in y, thus

5x - 13 = 0 ( add 13 to both sides )

5x = 13 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x =
(13)/(5)

Substitute this value into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y

Substituting into (2)


(39)/(5) + y - 9 = 0

-
(6)/(5) + y = 0 ( add
(6)/(5) to both sides )

y =
(6)/(5)

Solution is

(
(13)/(5) ,
(6)/(5) )
