Answer:

(3, 4 )

Explanation:

5x + 3y = 27 → (1)

2x + y = 10 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

y = 10 - 2x → (2)

substitute y = 10 - 2x into (1)

5x + 3(10 - 2x) = 27

5x + 30 - 6x = 27

- x + 30 = 27 ( subtract 30 from both sides )

- x = - 3 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = 3

substitute x = 3 into (2)

y = 10 - 2(3) = 10 - 6 = 4

solution is (3, 4 )
