Question 761183
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Just add the two equations, left side to left side and right side to right side:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  2x\ +\ 15x\ +\ 5y\ -\ 5y\ =\ -1\ -\ 50]


Collect terms


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  17x\ =\ -51]


Solve for *[tex \LARGE x]


Substitute the now known value of *[tex \LARGE x] back into either original equation and solve for *[tex \LARGE y].  The solution set consists of an ordered pair *[tex \LARGE (x,y)] using the values of *[tex \LARGE x] and *[tex \LARGE y] you just calculated.
