.
To learn it, substitute x= 4, y= 1 into each equation and calculate left side;
then compare with its right side.
=====================
It is ABSOLUTELY UNNECESSARY to solve the system from scratch
to check if the given pair of numbers is the solution, as the other tutor does.
Doing this way only shows/demonstrates that a person who solves it
EITHER does not understand question OR does not know how to answer it properly.
In any case, it is WRONG TEACHING.

If we want to check if (4,1) is a solution, then we plug x = 4 and y = 1 into both equations to see if we get a true result or not.
Both equations need to be true or else it's not a solution.
Plug the values into the 1st equation.
9x - 10y = 26
9*4 - 10*1 = 26
36 - 10 = 26
26 = 26
We arrive at a true statement, so the 1st equation is true.
Now let's work on the 2nd equation.
3x - 11y = 1
3*4 - 11*1 = 1
12 - 11 = 1
1 = 1
This is true as well.
Both equations are true when x = 4 and y = 1.
We have confirmed that (4,1) is indeed a solution
