<PRE><B>Question 47190</B>
5x – 3y = 13....................1 
4x – 3y = 11....................2
rearrange (1):
-5x + 3y = -13..................3
Add (2) and (3):

4x – 3y + (-5x + 3y) = 11 -13 ..................4
-x=-2
x=2
substitute x=2 into (1):
10 - 3y = 13
    -3y = 3
y=-1

So the solution is
x=2,
y=-1
I hope this helps,
