    (3, - 1)

    x is 3

    y is - 1

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Solving for x:

    2x+y=5

    Subtract y from both sides

    2x = - y+5

    Subtract 5 from both sides

    2x-5 = - y

    Multiply both sides by 4

    8x-20 = - 4y

    5x+4y=11

    Subtract 4y from both sides

    5x = - 4y+11

    Subtract 11 from both sides

    5x-11 = - 4y

    Combine equations:

    5x-11=8x-20

    Subtract 5x from both sides

    -11=3x-20

    Add 20 to both sides

    9=3x

    3x=9

    Divide both sides by 3

    x=3

    Solving for y:

    2x+y=5

    Subtract y from both sides

    2x = - y+5

    -y+5=2x

    Multiply both sides by 5

    -5y+25=10x

    5x+4y=11

    Subtract 4y from both sides

    5x = - 4y+11

    -4y+11=5x

    Multiply both sides by 2

    -8y+22=10x

    Combine equations:

    -8y+22 = - 5y+25

    Add 8y to both sides

    22=3y+25

    Divide both sides by 25

    -3=3y

    3y = - 3

    Divide both sides by 3

    y = - 1
