Answer:

(-78/29, -619/29)

Explanation:

Since both equations are equal to y we can set them equal to each other

15x+19 = 1/2x - 20

Subtract 1/2x from each side

15x -1/2x +19 = -20

Subtract 19 from each side

14 1/2 x +19-19 = -20-19

Changing to an improper fraction

29/2 x = -38

Multiply each side by 2/29

x = 2/29 * -38

x = -78/29

Now find y

y = 1/2x - 20

y = 1/2 (-78/29) -20

y = -39/29 - 20

Get a common denominator

=-39/20 - 580/29

= -619/29

-39/29 -580/29
