You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x-y=11
2x+y=19
...
solve for x
x-y=11
x = 11 + y
...
plug this into the second equation
2(11+y) + y = 19
22 + 2y + y = 19
22 + 3y = 19
...
isolate y
3y = 19 - 22
3y = -3
highlight_green%28y=-1%29
...
plug y back into the first equation to solve for x
x = 11 + -1 = highlight_green%28x+=+10%29
