<PRE><B>Question 159753</B>
Add both the equations together

(5-5)X+(1+3)Y=6-22

4Y=-16
Y=-4

To find X replace y with -4 in the first equation

5X-4=6

add 4 to both sides
5X=10

divide both sides by 5
X=2

to confirm replace x and y values in second equation

-5x + 3y = -22

-5(2)+3(-4)=-10-12=-22</PRE>
