1. Problem Description

We are given a system of two linear equations with two variables, xx and yy. The system is:
5x+2y=15x + 2y = 1
3x+3y=5-3x + 3y = 5
We are asked to solve for xx and yy.

2. Solution Steps

We will use the method of elimination to solve for xx and yy.
First, multiply the first equation by 33 and the second equation by 2-2 to eliminate the yy variable.
3(5x+2y)=3(1)3(5x + 2y) = 3(1)
2(3x+3y)=2(5)-2(-3x + 3y) = -2(5)
This gives us:
15x+6y=315x + 6y = 3
6x6y=106x - 6y = -10
Now, add the two equations together:
(15x+6y)+(6x6y)=3+(10)(15x + 6y) + (6x - 6y) = 3 + (-10)
21x=721x = -7
x=721=13x = -\frac{7}{21} = -\frac{1}{3}
Now that we have the value of xx, we can substitute it into one of the original equations to solve for yy. Let's use the first equation:
5x+2y=15x + 2y = 1
5(13)+2y=15(-\frac{1}{3}) + 2y = 1
53+2y=1-\frac{5}{3} + 2y = 1
2y=1+532y = 1 + \frac{5}{3}
2y=33+532y = \frac{3}{3} + \frac{5}{3}
2y=832y = \frac{8}{3}
y=8312y = \frac{8}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{2}
y=43y = \frac{4}{3}
Thus, the solution is x=13x = -\frac{1}{3} and y=43y = \frac{4}{3}.

3. Final Answer

x=13x = -\frac{1}{3}
y=43y = \frac{4}{3}
