ANSWER
The solution is (2,1)
EXPLANATION
The given equations are:
2x+4y=8...(1)
3x-5y=1...(2)
We make x the subject in the first equation to get:
2x=8-4y
This means that,
x=4-2y...(3)
Put equation (3) into equation (2)
3(4-2y)-5y=1
Expand:
12-6y-5y=1
-6y-5y=1-12
-11y=-11
y=1
Put y=1 into equation (3).
x=4-2(1)=2
The solution is (2,1)
