Answer

Final Answer: The solution set is \(\boxed{\left(\frac{3}{4}, -\frac{11}{13}\right)}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Given the system of equations: \[\begin{array}{l} 3 x=4 y+5 \\ 6 x=-1-5 y \end{array}\]

Step 2 :We can multiply the first equation by 2 to get: \[6x = 8y + 10\]

Step 3 :Adding the two equations together, we get: \[12x = 3y + 9\]

Step 4 :Solving for x, we get: \[x = \frac{y}{4} + \frac{3}{4}\]

Step 5 :Substituting x into one of the original equations, we can solve for y to get: \[y = -\frac{11}{13}\]

Step 6 :Substituting y back into the equation for x, we get: \[x = \frac{3}{4}\]

Step 7 :Final Answer: The solution set is \(\boxed{\left(\frac{3}{4}, -\frac{11}{13}\right)}\)
