Answer:
x=811/238, y=36/119. (811/238, 36/119).
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+(x-y/8)=17
2y+x-(5y+2/4)=2
-----------------------
4x+x-y/8=17
5x-y/8=17
40x-y=136
y=40x-136
------------------
2y+x-5y-2/4=2
2y-5y+x-1/2=2
-3y+x=2+1/2
-3y+x=4/2+1/2
-3y+x=5/2
-3(40x-136)+x=5/2
-120x+408+x=5/2
-119x=5/2-408
-119x=5/2-816/2
-119x=-811/2
119x=811/2
x=(811/2)/119
x=(811/2)(1/119)=811/238
y=40(811/238)-136
y=16220/119-136
y=36/119
x=811/238, y=36/119.
