Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step

Arranging in standard form, we get

x + 2y = 4..........(1)

2x + 5y = 9.........(2)

Multiplying equation (1) by 2, we get

2x + 4y = 8.........(3)

Subtracting equation (3) by (2)

2x + 5y = 9........(2)

- 2x + 4y = 8........(3)

y = 1

Substituting y = 1 in equation (1)

x + 2y = 4........(1)

x + 2(1) = 4

x + 2 = 4

x = 4 - 2

x = 2

Therefore, x = 2 and y = 1
