x - y = 5
x + y = 19
by substitution method
x = 12 and y = 7
x - y = 5 --------(1)
x + y = 19 --------(2)
From (1)
x - y = 5
x = 5 + y ----(3)
Now , put (3) in (2)
5 + y + y = 19
2y = 14
y = 7
Put y in (1)
x - y = 5
x - 7 = 5
x = 12
So , x = 12 and y = 7
Check :-
x - y = 5
12 - 7 = 5
Also ,
x + y = 19
12 + 7 = 19
So , x = 12 and y = 7

Answer:
x - y = 5
x = 5 + y
x + y = 19
x = 19 - y
5 + y + y = 19
5 + 2y = 19
2y = 19 - 5 = 14
y = 14/2 = 7
x = 5 + 7 = 12
