Answer:

y = 3/2 , x = 3/2

Explanation:

Solve the following system:

{x + y = 3 | (equation 1)

10 x = 15 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 5:

{y + x = 3 | (equation 1)

0 y+2 x = 3 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 2:

{y + x = 3 | (equation 1)

0 y+x = 3/2 | (equation 2)

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1:

{y+0 x = 3/2 | (equation 1)

0 y+x = 3/2 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {y = 3/2 , x = 3/2
