Answer:
x = -4, y = 9
or
(-4, 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 5y = -49
y = -2x + 1
substitute y for -2x + 1
x - 5(-2x + 1) = -49
x + 10x - 5 = - 49
add 5 to both sides
x + 10x - 5 + 5 = - 49 + 5
x + 10x = -44
11x = -44
divide both sides by 11
11x/11 = -44/11
x = -4
substitute x for -4 in any of the original equations
y = -2x + 1
y = -2 * -4 + 1
y = 8 + 1
y = 9
