Answer:

x=11, y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set 1 equal to x-5y and then solve for x. and y.

x = 5y+1

y = x-1/5

We can use this information and plug back in the values for 3y-x or x-5y.

We can set -3 = 3y-x or 1 = x-5y.

To solve for x using -3 = 3y-x we can swap the values of x and y which would make it -3 = 3(x-1/5)-5(x-1/5)+1.

We can do a bit of algebra which would get us x = 11.

Knowing that y = x-1/5 we can plug in 11 for x. y = 11-1/5.

y=2

x=11, y=2
