    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given the 2 equations

    2x + 3y = 13 → (1)

    4x - y = - 2 → (2)

    Multiplying (2) by 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the term in y

    12x - 3y = - 6 → (3)

    Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

    14x = 7 (divide both sides by 14)

    x = 0.5

    Substitute x = 0.5 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y

    Substituting into (1)

    2 (0.5) + 3y = 13

    1 + 3y = 13 (subtract 1 from both sides)

    3y = 12 (divide both sides by 3)

    y = 4

    Solution is (0.5, 4)
