Answer:
x = 11.5, y = -5.5.
As an ordered pair this is (11.5, -5.5).
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+4y=1 Multiply this by 3:
3x+5y=7 Multiply this by -2.
6x + 12y = 3
-6x - 10y = -14 Adding these 2 equations:
0 + 2y = -11.
y = -11/2
y = -5.5.
Now plug this into the first equation:
2x + 4(-5.5) = 1
2x = 1 + 22
x = 23/2
x = 11.5.
