Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\sf \ \ \ x = 2 \ \ and \ \ y = 5 \ \ \ }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
hello, we have two equation
(1) x + 4y = 22
(2) 2x + y = 9
let's multiply (1) by 2 and subtract (2)
2x + 8y - (2x + y) = 2*22 - 9 = 44 - 9 = 35
<=> 2x + 8y -2x -y = 35
<=> 7y = 35
<=> y = 35/7 = 5
we replace this value in (1) and it comes
x + 4*5 = 22
<=> x = 22 - 20 = 2
so the solution is
x = 2 and y = 5
hope this helps
