Question 63161
x + 3y = -3  -->(1)
 
3x - 5y = 19 -->(2)


Multiply the equation(1) by 3, we get

3x + 9y = - 9

3x = - 9y - 9    --->(3)


Now substitue equation(3) in equation(2), we get

-9y -9 - 5y = 19

 - 14y = 19 + 9

 -14 y = 28

  y = 28 /-14 =  -2


Now substitue for y =-2 in equation(1), we get


x + 3( -2) = -3

x -6 = -3

x = -3 + 6

x = 3

Therefore x =3 and y =-2
