Answer: x = 1, y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Solve for x

Multiply bottom equation by 2.

5x + 2y = 7

2(3x – y = 2)

___________

5x + 2y = 7

+ 6x - 2y = 4

___________

11x =  11    divide each side by 11      x = 1

Step 2: Solve for y

Substitute x=1 into any equation. We will do equation 1.

5x + 2y =  7    5*1 + 2y = 7

5 + 2y = 7  

subtract 5 from each side.

2y = 2  divide each side by 2

y = 1
