Answer:x=-3 y=26
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+y=17.............(1)
x+2y=49..............(11)
From (11) x=49-2y
Substitute x=49-2y in 3x+y=17
3(49-2y) + y=17
Open bracket
147-6y+y=17
147-5y=17
Collect like terms
5y=147-17
5y=130
Divide both sides by 5
5y/5=130/5
y=26
Substitute y=26 in x+2y=49
x+2(26)=49
x+52=49
Collect like terms
x=49-52
x=-3
