Answers:

x = 5

y = -5

==================================================

Work Shown:

3x + 2y - 5 = 0

3(y+10) + 2y - 5 = 0 ... replace x with y+10

3y+30+2y-5 = 0 .... distribute

5y+25 = 0

5y = -25 .... subtract 25 from both sides

y = -25/5 .... divide both sides by 5

y = -5

Use this y value to find x

x = y+10

x = -5+10

x = 5

------------------

As a way to check, plug these x and y values into the first equation

3x + 2y - 5 = 0

3(5) + 2(-5) - 5 = 0

15 - 10 - 5 = 0

5 - 5 = 0

0 = 0

This confirms the first equation and helps confirm our answers.
