Answer:
x = 2, y = -1.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 5y = 9
3x + 4y = 2
Multiply first equation by -3 and the second by 2:
-6x + 15y = -27
6x + 8y = 4 Adding the 2 equations:
23y = -23
y = -1.
Now substitute this value for y in the first equation:
2x - 5(-1) = 9
2x = 9 +5(-1)
2x = 9 - 5
2x = 4
x = 2.
