$color(blue)(x=10$
$color(blue)(y=-1$

$x-color(blue)(y)=11$ ...............equation $1$

$2x+color(blue)y=19$ ............equation $2$

Solving by elimination:

Adding equations $1$ and $2$

$x-cancelcolor(blue)(y)=11$

$2x+cancelcolor(blue)y=19$

$3x=30$

$x=30/3$

$color(blue)(x=10$

Finding $y$ from equation $1$ :
$x-y=11$

$x-11=y$

$10-11=y$

$color(blue)(y=-1$
