The solution for the system of equations is:
x=4

y=2

Explanation:

2x+9y=10.......equation (1)

x=44y..............equation (2)

Solving by substitution:

Substituting equation 2 into equation 1:

2x+9y=10

2(44y)+9y=10

88y+9y=10

8+y=10

y=108

y=2

Finding x from equation 2:

x=44y

x=4(42)

x=48

x=4
