Answer:
x = 4 and y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
5x + 6y = 50 ··· Equation 1
-x + 6y = 26 ··· Equation 2
Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1.
5x - (-x) + 6y - (6y) = 50 - (26)
5x + x + 6y - 6y = 50 - 26
6x = 24
x = 4
Plugging in x = 4 for the first equation to solve for y:
5x + 6y = 50
5(4) + 6y = 50
20 + 6y = 50
6y = 30
y = 5
