given equations
2x+5y=2
3x-5y=53
add both the equations
2 x + 5y +3x -5y = 2+53
5x = 55
divide with 5 on both sides
5x/5 = 55/5
x = 11
put x= 11 in 2x +5y =2
2(11)+ 5y = 2
22 + 5 y = 2
subtract 22 on both sides
22+ 5y-22 = 2-22
5 y =-20
divide with 5 on both sides
5y /5 = -20/5
y= -4
x = 11 & y =-4
