उत्तर

Given: 2x + y = 23 and 4x – y = 19

Step-wise calculation:

1. Add the equations:

(2x + y) + (4x – y) = 23 + 19 

⇒ 6x = 42

⇒ x = 7

2. Substitute x = 7 into 2x + y = 23

⇒ 14 + y = 23

⇒ y = 9

3. Compute 5y – 2x

= 5(9) – 2(7) 

= 45 – 14 

= 31

4. Compute `(y/x − 2)`

= `9/7 - 2` 

= `(9 - 14)/7` 

= `-5/7`
