Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE linear system by SUBSTITUTION
Solve:
+system%28+%0D%0A++++2%5Cx+%2B+5%5Cy+=+19%2C%0D%0A++++4%5Cx+%2B+-3%5Cy+=+-1+%29%0D%0A++We'll use substitution. After moving 5*y to the right, we get:
2%2Ax+=+19+-+5%2Ay, or x+=+19%2F2+-+5%2Ay%2F2. Substitute that
into another equation:
4%2A%2819%2F2+-+5%2Ay%2F2%29+%2B+-3%5Cy+=+-1 and simplify: So, we know that y=3. Since x+=+19%2F2+-+5%2Ay%2F2, x=2.

Answer: system%28+x=2%2C+y=3+%29.
