Hello, Iam trying to show

4x+y=11
2x+5y=1
4x + y = 11______y = 11 - 4x -------- eq (i)
2x + 5y = 1 ------- eq (ii)
1) Substitute 11 - 4x for y in eq (ii) to determine value of x
2) Substitute value for x into either eq (i) or eq (ii) to determine value of y
You should get:

The solution in the post by @mananth is incorrect due to an arithmetic error.
I came to bring a correct solution.
From the first equation, express
4x + y = 11,
express y = 11 - 4x and substitute it into the second equation
2x + 5(11-4x) = 1.
This is an equation for single variable 'x'. Simplify and find 'x'.
2x + 55 - 20x = 1
-18x = -54
x = -54/-18
x = 3
plug x= 3 in y = 11 - 4x
y = 11 - 4*3
y = -1
ANSWER. x = 3, y = -1.
You may check that this answer is correct by substituting the values into original equations.
Solved correctly.
