Answer:
x = 5, y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 5y = 25
3x - 1y = 12
we can multiply the second equation by 5 and then add it to the first equation, which will allow us to solve for 'x'; then we solve for 'y'
5(3x - 1y) = 12(5)
15x - 5y = 60
2x + 5y = 25
+ 15x - 5y = 60
17x = 85
x = 5
plug '5' in for 'x' to solve for 'y':
2(5) + 5y = 25
10 + 5y = 25
5y = 15
y = 3
