Express x in terms of y: First, we will use the second equation x=2y to express x in terms of y.x=2y
Substitute x into first equation: Next, we substitute the expression for x from the second equation into the first equation.−4(2y)+11y=15
Simplify and combine terms: Now, we simplify the equation by distributing −4 to 2y and combining like terms. −8y+11y=15
Combine y terms: Combine the y terms to get a single y term on the left side of the equation.3y=15
Solve for y: Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for y.y=315y=5
Substitute y back into second equation: Now that we have the value of y, we can substitute it back into the second equation to find x. x=2y x=2(5) x=10
