Answer :

Given the following System of equations:

[tex]\begin{cases}x-5y=5 \\ 4x-11y=29\end{cases}[/tex]

You can solve it using the Elimination method. Follow the steps shown below:

1. Multiply the first eqeuation by -4,

2. Add the equations.

3. Solve for the variable "y".

Then:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \begin{cases}-4x+20y=-20 \\ 4x-11y=29\end{cases} \\ ----------- \\ 9y=9 \\ y=\frac{9}{9} \\ \\ y=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]

4. Now you must substitute the value of the variable "y" into any original equation.

5. Solve for the variable "x".

Then, you get:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x-5y=5 \\ x-5(1)=5 \\ x-5=5 \\ x=5+5 \\ x=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The solution is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=10 \\ y=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]
