Answer:

Solving the system of equations using elimination method, we get x=2, y=0

The ordered pair is: (2,0)

Explanation:

We need to solve the system of equations using elimination method.


5x-2y = 10\\4x + 2y = 8

Let:


5x-2y = 10--eq(1)\\4x + 2y = 8--eq(2)

Add both equations to eliminate y and find value of x


5x-2y = 10\\4x + 2y = 8\\------\\9x=18\\x=(18)/(9)\\x=2

We get value of x=2

Now, finding value of y by putting value of x in eq(1)


5x-2y=10\\Put\:x=2\\5(2)-2y=10\\10-2y=10\\-2y=10-10\\-2y=0\\y=0

We get value of y= 0

Solving the system of equations using elimination method, we get x=2, y=0

The ordered pair is: (2,0)
