Answer:
X= -3 Y= 8
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 19 = 2y
5x - 1 = -2y
the 2y will cancel out and you are left with solving the rest of the equation.
5x+x = 6x
19 + (-1)= 18
6x + 18= 0
6x = -18
Divide by 6 on both sides
X= -3
Go back and replace -3 in either equation
-3 + 19 = 2Y
16 = 2Y
Divide both sides by 2
8=y
Check your work
-3 + 19 = 2(8)
16=16 True
5(-3) + 2(8)= 1
-15 + 16= 1 True
