    X+2y=1

    2y = 1-x

    y = (1-x) / 2

    5x-4y = - 23

    By substituting the value of y in this equation

    5x - 4 { (1-2) / 2} = - 23

    5x - 2 + 2x = - 23

    7x = - 21

    x = - 3

    Now, let's find the value of y bu putting the value in any othe two equations

    I'll use x + 2y=1

    -3 + 2y=1

    2y = 4

    y=2

    So, the value of x and y is - 3 and 2 respectively.

    I'll use substitute method.

    x + 2y = 1. (1)

    5x - 4y = - 23. (2)

    from 1,

    x = 1 - 2y. (3)

    then I'll substitute (3) into 2,

    5 (1-2y) - 4y = - 23. (this way we only need to calculate y, as x is isolated out)

    5 - 10y - 4y = - 23

    5 - 14y = - 23

    -14y = - 28

    y = 2

    now we can substitute y = 2 back into (3)

    x = 1 - 2 (2)

    x = - 3

    therefore we get that x is - 3 and y is 2.
