<PRE><B>Question 287630</B>
Two Equations:

Eqn 1:  2x-y=4
Eqn 2:  3x-5y=2

Isolate for y in either equation. I will choose Eqn 1.

y=2x-4

Substitute this value into Eqn 2:

3x-5(2x-4)=2
3x-10x+20=2
-7x+20=2
18=7x
x=18/7


Now substitute this value of x into Eqn 1 to find y:

y=2x-4
y=2(18/7)-4
y=8/7</PRE>
