Answer:

x=25 and y=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

x+2y=5 ..........(1)

4x+12y=-20.........(2)

using elimination method.

multiply equ(1) by 4 and equ(2) by 1

so we have

x+2y=5..........*4

4x+12y=-20.........*1

4x+8y=20................(3)

4x+12y=-20.............(4)

subtract eq(4) from (3) we have

-4y=40

y=-10

substitute y=-10 in equation (1)

we have:

x+2(-10)=5

x-20=5

x=25
