Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:(36.692,-6.538) or simplified (36.7,-6.5)Step-by-step explanation:2x-3y=93x+5y=4You would multiply both sides of the bottom equation by -2-2(x+5y)=4(-2) > -2x-10y=-8    2x-3y=93+  -2x-10y=-8----------------------13y=85divide both sides by -13y=-6.538plug in y for any of the two original equations, I chose the first one2x-3(-6.5)=932x+19.5=93   -19.5     -19.52x=73.5divide both sides by 2x=36.692
