Answer by prabhjyot(165)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1x-2y = -1
2x+y = 81

Using Substitution Method.
Expressing x as a function of y (from the first equation) x = (-1 +2y)/1
Substituting this expression into the second equation:
2(-1-2y)/1+y = 81
Simplifying this expression:
5y = 83
or
y = 16.6
Now, substituting y = 16.6 back into the x expressed as a function of y:
x = (-1+2y)/1 = 32.2
