Answer

\[\left\{ \left( 3,4 \right) \right\}\]

Work Step by Step

Multiply the first equation by 2 and add both the equations as follows: \[\begin{align} & 4x-2y+x+2y=4+11 \\ & 5x=15 \\ & x=\frac{15}{5} \\ & x=3 \end{align}\] Substitute the value of \[x=3\]in the second equation and solve \[\begin{align} & x+2y=11 \\ & 3+2y=11 \\ & y=\frac{11-3}{2} \\ & y=4 \end{align}\] Hence, the value of x is 3 and y is 4.
