Answer:
(3, 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 3y = 27 → (1)
2x + y = 10 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
y = 10 - 2x → (2)
substitute y = 10 - 2x into (1)
5x + 3(10 - 2x) = 27
5x + 30 - 6x = 27
- x + 30 = 27 ( subtract 30 from both sides )
- x = - 3 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = 3
substitute x = 3 into (2)
y = 10 - 2(3) = 10 - 6 = 4
solution is (3, 4 )
